Ledge Area

Starbuck Right has a ledge 4m up running across much of its width. Several climbing routes begin on this ledge, though the FA of many of them forced a line through the moss-cloaked lower band. The ledge begins just left of a large block lying askew on it, and runs to an oak tree which stands on its right extremity (Starboard Tack runs up behind this tree). NOTE that all the routes here begin (duh!) on a ledge 10 or more feet above the base of the cliff. A leader falling before placing gear would almost certainly continue falling off this ledge, pulling their belayer down with them. Anchor your belayer.
