News Feature - Simon Stone

The Simon Stone - Swindale
Approach: Park as for Gouther Crag - ie. In the grassy areas just before Truss Gap Farm. From here follow the road up the valley for around 1.5km to where it finishes, continue along the main track for another 3/4km to where it flanks the beck in the base of the valley. The Stone can now be seen under the shade of a couple of trees 250m to the left, cross the beck via stepping stones and make a beeline straight to the block.

Problems:
1. Simon Sez V7 - (sit start) From an obvious jug traverse leftward past a crack and jagged flutings to finish up P3.
2. V5 - (sit start) Start as for P1 but on reaching the flutings climb direct through these.
3. V0 - The off-width crack.
4. V0 - Easy crack taken to the right.
5. V3 - (sit start) The pleasant prow.
6. V1 - (sit start) Start right of the clean cut arete on a lay away, move let to the arete and up this.
7. Moss Isley V0 - (sit start) The excellent cleaned arete.
8. V? - The high arete climbed on the right looks a viable prospect.
9. V0 - The licheness lay-back arete.
10. V4 - The licheness wall climbed via a series of cleaned crimps.
