Rockfax Description
The right-hand side of the cave leads to the lip of the roof which is passed with difficulty (stepping in from the ledge on the right is taboo at the grade) to gain the upper slab. Pass the cave (occasional raven's nest) to the final crack which gives tenuous finger-jamming to a sandy exit. © Rockfax

βeta: There is no longer a nest in the cave. Bottom fixed peg with tat is pretty poor.

βeta: Ironically I have been brainwashed into joining the birders by Jack Street and I am making a propaganda film for them at the moment on the Ravens!

βeta: Raven actually Al - I'l get Gerry to buy you a bird book for Christmas. It is OK to remove the nest once the birds have flown - this advice is from the BMC/Birders.
