Can seep so dry days are best. On the other hand it gets very hot in the sunshine.

On the right wing of the crag there are two rare Rock Whitebeam trees, these are some of the only remaining Rock Whitebeam in the Yorkshire Dales and likely represent a genetically distinct population. They are close to the routes Nettle Rash, Britvic Fifty-five and Mettle Nettle. Climber have been reported as damaging one of these by pruning. Under no circumstance should these trees be climbed on or pruned further, regardless of any encroachment onto routes. If climbing and free growth of these trees is not compatible then the affected routes will have to be banned.

Rockfax Description
Spectacular climbing. Follow Final Demand and continue direct to holes below the final overhang. Use a crack to break through the overhang to a ledge and then finish on the right. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
Climb the initial groove as for Final Demand but continue to its end. Follow undercut pockets in the roof to eventually gain the two big holes below the final overhang. This is overcome using the crack and improving holds to a ledge. Move easily across to the hanging white rib and follow its front face to the belay of Symbols of the Soul. If you don’t clip the bolt at the ledge the rope runs better and avoids the crack

βeta: Brilliant and brutal. Thought this was nails for the grade, very difficult to onsight. Lower section was hard work even though it was dry and fairly clean today.
