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.
Rockfax Description
Start up the wide lower fissure of Ashop Crack but move right at the roof and awkwardly enter the wide right-hand fissure which gives classical squirming, then gradually eases to a sudden cliff-top exit. Much better than it looks. © Rockfax
