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.

βeta: Just for historical reference the climb didn’t go anywhere near the arête on the first ascent. It climbed the slab directly on small edges following a hairline crack and gave pleasantly sustained moves up the slab at British tech 5a. It was intended to provide an accessible bolted route at an amenable grade to give a safe taster of slate slab climbing. Perhaps my under grading or poor description of this resulted in the arête being used and that now being the normal route these days. | βeta? | |
