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: Nice problem - took me a while to work out the first few moves but once I got the sequence it was fairly easy. I don't think its that bad for the short - I'm about 5'6 and had no trouble with reach - the reach from the big slot to the next hold isn't too bad if you're in balance, I almost felt I could let go and reach up for the hold.

βeta: At last! After doing the crux start about 5million times I finally got the bottle to do the top, which was a bit scary, good route

βeta: the start of this route is easy aint it? like jon says, use the *big* vertical smear. thought the crux was the massive reach up with both feet high on the smears as shown in the rockfax picture.

βeta: ha HA! succeded at last 3 years trying finally managed it last monday. In sub zero conditions only took 3 goes and it felt piss when i did it, top move is quite scary so definitely VS. Just get you left foot on high on that vertical smear and push like hell. PS Reeve is a weak punter and can't do this or the RH arete of the tiny slab

βeta: Very reachy! I was playing on this one with a short friend (5'5) and he couldn't reach the holds! A couple of reachy moves bring some larger holds to hand.
