Fencing no longer there and access seems fine.The original start is really quite dirty again though, the well chalked hold in the photo is grassed over. I tried starting on the sidepulls just left, it's OK for a few moves then there is an utterly desperate move down into the short vertical crack on poor footholds - any beta for this bit Andy / Remus?Starting from the short vertical crack (where Andy is in the photo) I thought it felt like hard 7B or french 7c+, judging by the chalk/nettles this is where most are climbing it from at the moment. Some nice rock and cool moves

I live fairly close by, and it’s nice for people to enjoy problems that you’ve put up.
Cheers Mark, the first metre or so took ages to dry out, which is why I also mentioned the start from the high sidepulls in the diagonal crack (visible just left of the overchalked hold in the photo). This is where Remus did it from.I thought the drop down into the crack where Adam et al started was one of the harder sections, and reachy, but Remus seemed to find it fine, so may have come up with better beta. I can PM you my beta for this if you’d like?
