The North East England Guide provides warning on the stability of the following routes: Pianissimo to Kestrel , Wings , BBC , Crackers and Gone . Many of the routes have steep grassy top outs.
Parking and Approach
Park offroad on the crag side of the road, large agricultural vehicles regularly use the road so be advised to pull well off. In October 2020, some climbers were challenged about parking in "passing places". There are no known designated passing places adjacent to the crag although the road is narrow, climbers are asked to continue to park considerately and well off the road.
