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.

βeta: A great little route. I found the crux very committing and a precarious balancing act. The upper break feels more positive to the left although this is further away and more committing to get established on. If you have the reach then this crux move up the wall will probably feel like an easier 5b. It should be possible to get a good Friend 4 stuffed in the break before going up the wall, harder for the short, or you could try shuffling up the wall a little way first and getting a good fist jam established before placing the gear. A hard pull up the wall completes the crux then follow that up with a rockover to your right to then latch the top. Short but sweet and worthy of a star. The gear is solid and the rock is a coarse sharp grit with little or no sign of wear and tear, just beware the breaks can be dirty and slippery. | βeta? | |
