The lower gorge constricts to a narrowing that is dominated by the leaning prow of Deliverance, overhanging the lower waterfall and providing a magnificent venue for one of Yorkshire' most famous adventure rock climbs. Further right the wall is dominated by a huge roof. Down and left of this is a section of slightly suspect rock with a set of trad routes with lots of fixed gear. Guidebook page 310.
