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.
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.
Scrambles in the Dark Peak (summer) , Winter Scouting missions

βeta: Ascended yesterday to an almost disastrous removal of the large block warned about in the description. The upper section may now be easier or harder due to the large block now resting in a solid position in the middle of the crux. An absolute arse tickler, glad we were using gear as the block fell off with my mate on it, the top rope pulling him into the wall as the block fell away. We estimate the block to weigh around 500-700kg and landed only a few inches from my mates falling position. There is a blue number 14 nut and a wire gate quickdraw laying there for anyone who fancies braving the route | ||
