This is the steep outcrop on the left side of the road as you approach Tilberthwaite, about 400 metres past the cattle grid. A clean wall and a prominent arete are the two main features.
*** E5
Start directly in the centre of the clean streak in the deceptively overhanging wall.
(6b). Step onto the ledges at 1.5 metres. Gain the jugs above and make a crafty heel hook rock over, bypassing a small crimp, to gain a slot. Launch for the good holds above and follow a fault/rightward-slanting crack to a Rock 2 at 10.5 metres (first runner). Gain the good ledge above for a shake out and follow the leftward-slanting crack to a lower off.

"Gave this a scrub today and forgot how good it is. The crux is quite tricksy and unprotectable, the first runner is a long way up. In retrospect E6 6b would be a better grade." Stuart Wood 19/08/2012 19:30:13 Voted: ***
