A moorland classic featuring crack climbing of all forms.
1) Start on the right side of the flake that sits at the base of the gully and climb the crack and then the groove above (also possible to climb the left face) to a good ledge.
2) The steep chimney crack.
3) The easy chimney to finish.

Just do it in two pitches. The second pitch hardly worth roping up for. The chimmney requires a bit of old school climbing. Hard if not used to this style of climb.

Great old fashioned climbing that requires a bit of grunt. The 'second' pitch has excellent large Hex protection at its start so is well worth placing. Perfectly feasable to do in one pitch.

Why on Earth would anyone do this in three pitches? Anything more than a single pitch would be a complete waste of time. Great climb though.
