I have looked at this line with the existing Trem guide in hand but can't make head or tail of where it goes. Is there a topo available? Which makes me wonder when the new guide is coming out (I gather one is in production).

Is there any gear now for the crux? Surely E3 if there isn't

The traverse may feel contrived, but its the best bit!

Had a quick look at this the other day but back edoff. Poor gear, hollow holds and nothing encouraging above. Has anyone done it? Do you go on the left side of the arete or the right side? You surely don't just laybackl up it at E1!

The actual holds are clean but I thought 6a on-sight gives a more realistic expectation. Well protectable but feels urgent.

We should have a topo ready for this wall soon. Leg Break was clean last time I did it - unlike Dotheboys which despite recent cleaning had 18mm diameter ivy stems over much of the middle section! Is this a new fast growing ivy species?

Yesterday a friend and I went searching for the various buttresses up and left of the main crag. The guidebook description wasn't much help, there were only the very faintest signs of any paths to follow and these often just petered out into jungle. Once amongst the trees it is impossible to judge where you are, let alone where the crags are. Net result: about 40 minutes of thrashing about through brambles, nettles and assorted undergrowth with no sign of anything climbable (I can hear any of my friends reading this laughing). When we got back to the car we looked up and could hardly believe that we hadn't found the crags. Perhaps we're just useless but it wouldn't surprise me if others have had a similar experience.
This is a shame since the routes sounded worth a visit and obviously if people can't find them they will return to an overgrown condition fairly soon. I know it's not the done thing in the UK but it would help greatly if some attempt to waymark the correct approach was made. If this happened then everyone would take the same line up to the crags and a path of sorts would emerge, the routes would see more ascents, the rock might stay clean and the efforts of the first ascentionists would be appreciated by more people. I'm not suggesting anything intrusive, just a small sign at the start of the approach and then a series of smallish paint marks on suitable boulders. What to others think?

Had a meeting today with the Tree plan manager, latest estimates for work to begin are November this year. We are planning the removal of many sycamores below the crag. I hope the bottom of Belshazzar buttress in particular will be opened up. Part of the deal (to get the grant money) is that we ratioonalise the path situation in the woods below the crag too. TO this end there will be finger posts marking the entry points to the key buttresses and some access paths will be closed off with feld timber. I hope this works out OK, the idea being the create 'wild' areas and hopefully makes access simpler for first time vistors.

Super little route - but I don't think the average VDiff leader would thank you for pointing them at this! We thought it about HS 4a (hard to protect the crux).

Oh Thank you silveryfox, exactly what this under-used site was created for. I did make a little booklet like yours in the early days, but I shall be using yours from now on!

Just been cleaning it again last Saturday 13/06/09. A lot of turf and blocks were removed however there are very loose blocks in the top groove/chimney which I did not have balls to touch as they could colapse on me. It is avoidable if you climb the route as described. The rest was mostly moved only by hand which comparing the size of blocks generated rather scary thoughts. it needs a bit of rain to finish the cleaning but then it should be a nice counterpart to its' close neighbours.

These are trees which may or may not be removed depending on inspection form the National Park

There appears to have been a new rock fall on this route . I don't know if pitch 3 is stlill possible as described in guide. You might have to climb left of the tree as for Heartbreak Hotel.

Had a look at the graded list of routes on this thread and was surprised that Void was given E3 6a and Cream E4 6a !
Should this be the other way around ? Personally I think Void is way harder than Cream !
