22m. The best route here and one of the classic quarry routes of Britain. Superb rock, moves and flowstone pipes all topped off with a pumpy little finish. Photo page 305.
FA. Ken Palmer 19.6.87. With most gear from threads.

Solid 7b

Bog standard 7a+. Nice route, but you need to go to Chapel Head Scar for the best 7a+ in the country.

Brilliant, just brilliant.
If this is 7a+ then Barney Rubble is 7a tops... i'd say bench mark 7b, the dartmoor guide has got it right.

Great no-hands rest mid-route if you're cunning...

This is not 7b. Empire is 7b. This is hard 7a+.

Sorry Mr H I disagree I did empire second go and thought it was a path once you knew the moves. This is more technical and in my opinion more difficult as well as better.
