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.
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: Much easier than the Chant which is HVS 5a i think. 4c is generous! A fairly average route really. Worth a go. | βeta? | |

βeta: Gear is good you can get a couple of small nuts in the lay back without loosing hand holds, my second took a while to get them out - they would have held! Don't try cams, which I saw someone attempt. | βeta? | |

βeta: This is probably quite reach dependant. For the average/tall person (I'm 5'11") it is a very easy undertaking at the grade. | βeta? | |

βeta: think with the gear being down at the bootom of the lay back means could be quite a fall on a bad landing, so hence hvs. easy 5a but think graded right.better landing may make it a boulder problem | βeta? | |

βeta: Lovely little route. Felt about 5a and a bit soft for HVS, but probably not a VS. | βeta? | |

βeta: Nice route, quite easy for the adj grade perhaps (one long stretch etc) but surely 5a and quite strenuous. | βeta? | |
