Rockfax Description
The left-hand crack is approached up a straightforward clean-cut groove to reach a recess. Steep and insecure moves gain the upper cave then good jamming leads to an awkward exit. © Rockfax

βeta: Dead bird in first cave section after inital corner crack. Didn't have any bags or anything to remove it. Hasn't been dead for more than a week but the smell is already extremely off-putting.

βeta: There's a pigeon nest full of babies in the first cave. They're generally not too fussed so would just avoid going in too far (or don't climb it and leave them be)

βeta: Collared dove nesting in the back of the first “cave” 23/06/21. Best to avoid til their kids have fledged.

βeta: Enjoy the pleasant climbing up the initial corner and the final jamming crack, because the middle section is hideous! Hard work with nothing much for the feet...
