Immediately left of Bird of Prey there is an obvious pocket low down, directly below a small sapling at the top of the crag. Climb the wall on various finger pockets to join Bird of Prey.

Four metres to the right is a low ledge with a short, square corner at its right side. Climb this to an obvious flake with a wide crack behind it, move left (treating the flake with respect) then go back right to finish by a short crack and slab.

Does not always live up to its name! Though not sustained it has some good sections. Right of Spring Tide it is relatively easy, a fact which is sometimes very useful to know.

A superb outing, especially at high tide. Start at the right-hand end of the obvious rising break on a choice of ledges (not so much choice at high tide!), as for Morecambe Bay Eliminate.

Gain the break and follow it leftwards to a stance in the trees above Brant`s Little Brother.
Grade: 4c | First Ascent:
Rating:
Move awkwardly left across the groove and the top of the cave then continue along the break to another prickly stance. It is advisable to stay roped together for the scramble off above.
