There is also some major stuff that has been kept quiet - don't worry all will be revealed shortly...

Did I miss something or is this still secret?

Sorry Andy, I got distracted by the limestone - blame it on Doylo's charms!

At frikkin' last! I used to go here during and after school and always thought it had potential. I remember thinking it looked like photos of Crag X I'd seen. One Friday evening I was hitching there from school and got picked up by a Lakeland climbing celed . On the short journey I persuded him not to carry on to the Pass for some bouldering before it got dark but visit this "ace, undeveloped bouldering venue" I was on my way to. Having given him the tour and thus ensured he wouldn't have enough day light left to climb in the Pass I've never seen anyone look so pissed off at being given a golden opportunity at fame and glory, he skulked off fuming! A mere 24 years later, I'm vindicated - who's sorry now **** *******?

I guess this is the point where I say I did all of these years ago but, in truth, I never really did anything so I'm delighted its been developed and the bolted lines are as good as they can be given the length.

I also 'discovered' White Goods Crag but always knew that was a bag of.

It is a pretty good little venue, albeit still a little loose in places. Although there's nothing that hard so far (best for 6B to 7A+), there are some good link ups on nice rock and its biggest positive is that it stays really dry. It can shake off a rain shower and has very little seepage. Usefully in the rain shadow of Snowdonia too.

Not a bad venue along with the other stuff. Repeated the 7c the other day, which is really just a boulder problem on a rope. Cool moves though
