GR 284078 600m. SE Facing. The large crag behind Stickle Tarn. Some excellent routes when in condition which is more frequently than one would think considering which direction it faces. The gullies are worth while and Stoats Crack is a hard modern classic. Approach from the NDG car park at GR 294063. Descent: To either the west or the east.
