Restricted Access
The scene of the Kinder trespass in 1932 has no access problems these days. Climbers and walkers should keep dogs under control at all times to avoid disturbing moorland birds and grazing sheep. There is occasional grouse shooting on the moors above Edale and access is not permitted during these periods.
Seasonal Restrictions
Dates: 15 March to 30 June
Reason: Nesting Birds
A restriction is in place on Big Brother buttress and Little Brother buttress. Please avoid all routes in this section to prevent disturbance to nesting birds.
A restriction also applies to all routes in the Ampitheatre Area of Kinder Downfall (ie from The Owl Of Minerva to The Downfall Climb) to prevent disturbance to nesting birds.

βeta: How to grade this? I picked my way up the lower slopes with some icy steps and frozen turf to get up some steeper bits - but its mainly just a steep snow covered hillside. But then the chimney itself is probably only 8 mtrs and its only the top few metres that are hard. I thrutched up it with some moderately brutal chimneying. Some hooks and turf for tools - probably about tech 5, but only for about 3 mtrs! | βeta? | |
