Main Streamway from Fall Pot to Stake Pot

Main Streamway from Fall Pot to Stake Pot

Upstream from Fall Pot is a fine streamway with occasional water chutes and boulder obstacles. Three deeper pools are passed, before, about five minutes from Fall Pot, a boulder choke is reached. An easy route ascends through the boulders. The streamway also ascends, so the route stays quite close to the stream. After a couple of minutes, the route opens out into a much larger space, below Stake Pot.

• The route to Stake Pot is to double-back above the point of entry, and to ascend over and between boulders, following the right-hand wall. This leads to a 2m hand-line climb using staples in the wall. Above, a short mud slope leads to Stake Pot.

• Ahead, the streamway leads to Oxbow Corner.
