A reasonable old climb, but it is suffering from lack of traffic. Climb the long pumpy crack past a tricky bulge. Continue slightly left up the cleanest rock to the top.

the route really needs a good bit of gardening to bring it into line with the 1 star award. at the moment it is far too vegetated and full of soil and sand.

Not a bad little route if cleaner!

Really quite loose now. Shame but good practice for north Devon.

The John who peeled was called Ibbotson.
