The Wildboar Clough scramble is graded as a 2/3, mainly due to the crux of the route - the waterfall.
There’s two main rock walls, the first is at 8:32 in the video and the second (the waterfall) is at 10:15. For the waterfall I chose to take a route through the water and up the right hand side. This wasn’t a very clever idea as I’d underestimated just how much water was falling, the pressure of it and it’s low temperature. Once through the water I then encountered extremely slippy rocks (surprise surprise!) and a lack of handholds. I definitely let out a huge sigh of relief once at the top. We then descended down the left hand side to ascend again and show via video just how much safer that passage is.
I’m not sure what it’s like in summer but from today’s experience I can tell you’ll get very wet!

That’s a great effort. It’s a tough scramble at the best of times but in winter, the amount of water certainly adds to the challenge. Enjoyed the video 👍

Thanks Daniel, it’s a nice scramble to do. A tad safer in summer maybe!

Damn that's some very interesting scramble. You have some b*$&s to go under(or more like thought this waterfall)!! These rocks looked so slippery and the amount of water falling on you, you've got the nerve 😂 I had my palms sweeting, thinking if you slip... Thanks for the video, nice adventure and informative too

Thanks Kris. There’s a point where I went through the water on the waterfall where I’d have turned back if I could but I think that may have brought in more problems. The ascent up the left hand side is far safer and definitely more sensible! Thanks to watching, appreciate it and your nice comments 👍

Yeah great scramble, but in those conditions it’s a significant gamble ... in many places it’s one slip you are talking serious injury... I did exactly the same, similar conditions over a decade ago....looking back now, older and wiser thinking that really was not clever.

I can’t disagree with your comments, hence the warning regarding the main waterfall section. I’m not sure I’d go through it and up the right hand side again in those conditions. After descending then re-ascending up the left hand side for the video there’s a huge difference between the two routes. It shows what a difference there can be between scrambling in the wet and dry.
