Please avoid damaging fences - use the stiles provided. Historically there were access problems here, partially as a result of liability concerns and also due to damage to fences, but these appear to be resolved at this time.

There has been significant rock fall across this area over the past few years, climbers should check the route and be aware of more collapsing rock. Routes that have been affected are Septuagenarian, Guillotine, Wusty Wolf and possibly the start of Fool’s Gold.

Rockfax Description
Easier and better than Raisin Frumpsnoot, but it still packs a big punch. Maybe 7b for the tall. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
Right of Forsinain Motspur, thin and continuous moves up the wall, good!

βeta: First time I dogged up this I was thinking was it 7b, and is this likely the hardest climb I have ever done? 2 'rounds' of cranking, huffing and puffing it was looking pretty dire. 3rd go, clean, composed! Blew my mind. Beta dialled in. Need to come back and lead this. Its a very cool route. Certainly learned a fair amount about my abilities in climbing. My first 'real' project on slate. P.S. I think slate is now my favourite!

βeta: Writing a huge 'FOOT' in chalk with an arrow to a hold is surely excessive?
