03 January 2023 - Rockfall reported "I was walking below shepherds crag on Jan 1st, and found what appears to be a very recent rockfall.
I don't know the crag, so can't tell you what route it was near, but walking from the south of the crag it was just before the path starts to drop steeply near the north end.
It was dusk, so I couldn't see where the rock had fallen from (low down, or higher up), but it seemed to have a smashed tree associated with the debris. Main block was probably 2m x 1.5m x 1.5m approx. No idea if routes are affected at all, but I suspect that the area needs to be inspected by someone competent in the area of safety/stability of rock."
Update to follow once area has been investigated.
Rockfax Description
The name says it all. Start at a narrow groove just left of Eve's initial slab. Climb the groove and then gain the arete on the left which is followed to the right end of an overlap. Move past the overlap at a thin crack and climb direct to join Eve midway along its final crack. Finish leftwards up a groove. © Rockfax

βeta: Best route of its grade at Shepherds. The route is adequately protectable with small-medium wires. | βeta? | |
