This very small crag has a sunny aspect, but, as with all the rock hereabouts, it is of dubious quality. It can be seen from Honister Pass and is situated to the right of Buckstone How , above an ill-defined incline. Follow the approach for Buckstone How , until the fellside can be ascended to its foot (17min). Lines on the main wall have been climbed but not recorded. The isolated rib on the extreme right, has a line of hollow flakes on its right-hand flank:

The rib on the extreme right of the wall has a line of flakes on its right-hand flank (facing Honister mine). Start below here on a higher ledge.
(4b). Climb the flakes with care to a ledge at the top of the rib. Move up for 3 metres then step right to a motley collection of spike belays.

A rather better offering, starting 3 metres left of Musical Chairs at the base of a groove, from the top of which springs a fine-looking flake crack.
(4b). Climb the left rib of the groove and gain the flake crack delicately from the left. Continue up it to join Musical Chairs, and finish as for that climb.
