Nodes in Berumbuckle Split Rock

This fairly major, walled peak is about 5 km NE of the Needle. The peak has three main faces, the left and middle of which are the highest. There is a fine descent gully through the middle (Head Wall) face and the long north bluffs (Whale-back Crag). The left bluff (Tower Bluff) breaks up to south where there is one route so far.

A Lakeland·style route. Start at S end of Tower Bluff below easy-angled ramps.

1. 50 m Ramps to top of big ledge before steepening.

2. 30 m (crux) Down slightly, then R to clean crack with bushes at base. Up.

3-4) 60 m Up, turning loose block at 15 m on L. Finish up crack.
