General:
Two small sandstone buttresses in the wooded area below and to the north of Simonside. They can easily be combined with a visit to Simonside North Face, but by comparison the buttresses are poor fare. They are, in fact, hopeless.
Rock:
Fell Sandstone Carboniferous, Dinantian Overgrown
Routes/Bouldering:
Routes:
All dismally poor, but P.C. Plod is recognisable as a route. No recorded problems.
History:
Details of the early first ascents are unknown, however, P.C. Plod and Is That It were climbed by Karl & Graham Telfer in 1988 in readiness for the 1989 edition of the guidebook. |
