2 minsThe most impressive section of the cliff is situated 80m to the right, and up a slope, from the Long Wall. It has some good and strenous left-leaning crack climbs that lead to ‘The Rake’. From here upward progress doesn’t add a lot to the climbing experience. The orange scar of the rock fall on the right, and the small memorial, under The Popple, point to the fact that care is required when climbing here! Bolt belays below the grot would make the climbing much safer! Guidebook page 231.
