★★★ Sandstone Alley F3

The climb starts below a tree-covered ledge to the left of two large overhangs.

1. 25m (F2) Climb the groove until there is a definite lay-back crack below the ledge. Climb this crack 18m and continue a further 7m onto the ledge to a tree belay.

2. 35m (F2) Climb the obvious crack on the right starting with a rather narrow chimney. Continue upwards past a white block, then past an overhang. The stance is made on a very small but comfortable ledge.

3. 25m (F1) Move to under the overhang, then traverse out left and climb up the edge at the end of the overhang. Move up and then traverse right into a good crack. Climb this and move onto big grass ledge.

4. 20m (F1) Climb up the bulging block, then continue up the crack.

5. 30m (F3) Continue up the crack until only about 2m of the difficulties remain. To avoid these traverse 2m right then move up to a ledge. Continue up past some overhangs to a stance at a tree.

6. 35m (F1) Climb obvious crack route keeping left and make stance at a tree.

7. 20m (F1) Climb the crack directly behind stance, then scramble to the top.

Descend the left-hand gully (Facing the rock), but this is not advisable in the dark.
