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: Well it felt like HVS to me when I fell off it, but maybe cos my knees ain't too supple now. Got up it 2nd attempt though.

βeta: also onsight soloed it (without having a guidebook), and found it good. Probably fair at 5a, but thought provoking when soloing.

βeta: Piece of piss... when you know how.I'm only 5'8 and the final 'long' reach isn't that bad with a bit of fancy foot work.

βeta: i rekon the side pull is only 5a. there seemed to be gear right below the crux so vs 5a seems right.

βeta: Easy for HVS and easy for 5a, but still a nice route. I'd of thought a bit of a long reach and a bit of balance a better description than a mantle-shelf. Much harder if the suns out and probably would feel a lot more committing for short arses.

βeta: On-sight soloed this one and it gave me one hell of an adrenaline hit. Those last moves are quite commiting so I can see why this gets HVS even with decent gear.
