Restricted Access

No access problems. The area is part of the Eastern Edges SSSI designated for its assemblage of breeding birds - please make sure dogs are under control to protect birds and sheep: the grazier has reported losses.

Seasonal Restrictions

Reason: Nesting Birds

Ring ouzel nest sites change quickly and frequently as they often have several broods each year with different nest sites for each brood. On site signage will be up around any of the nest sites where climbing may impact on the birds and this is always up to date and accurate.

βeta: I climbed as suggested in Peak Grit East and no way is it VS 5a. As Michael Hood says the older guidebooks tell you to climb the face just to the left of the crack. Time to go back and try that way me thinks!

βeta: Soloed this quite a few times and the moves below are def 5a, more of a boulder problem though then a route as its over when you reach the big crack.

βeta: The Froggatt guide gives it 'at least E1' if you avoid the crack/arete.

βeta: The description in older guides used to have this finishing up the wall to the left of the upper crack - this made it truely VS 5a.

βeta: Looking at the votes for this have depressed me. Can anyone give any logical reason why a few 5a moves to a break and a junction with a well protected Severe crack climb could possibly be a VS??

βeta: Jugtastic, do yourself a favour and solo it you'll only get pumped placing the gear.

βeta: Another pleasant Burbage solo. It felt a little commiting after the initial hard moves.
