Restricted Access

These crags do not have agreed access. The landowner has concerns with climbing on his land, and any publicity about the crags, or an increase in use, will result in an immediate and enforced ban. Quiet, low-key use is currently tolerated - please do not do anything to jeopardise this. Be sensitive to the ecological features of the area and take all litter home with you.

 

Rockfax Description
A fine old-school technical challenge up the wall with an airy feel, the crux being committing to the twin pockets in the roof. An unnerving final move to the upper lip awaits. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
Classic English 6a problem up the line of holds (including a peculiar crescent moon shaped one) and over the roof left of Crystal. A `crucial' foot hold broke circa 2001 making it harder, but there is in fact no real change in grade.

βeta: Video in description is wrong way round. This has been people's understanding of the problems for years due to an error in guide. Borg is the left line crystal the right. In the 2nd video it's also named wrong but not in the video description.
