Lower half of Dungeon Ghyll, often done as a grade 1 precursor to Jack's Rake. Although scenic - the waterfalls are lovely - the gill is often very wet and the rock not sustained. Despite the amenable sounding description given by Brian Evans, it is not ideal as a warm up to Jack's Rake, especially if heading up with younger parties, and the easily escapable Stickle Gill is probably a much better option. The natural bridge is more precarious than might be expected and often hazardously covered in moss. Take care if crossing it and, regardless of the grade, a rope really is a good idea for the bridge! Beware of getting drawn onto slippery terrace paths early on.
