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.

Short and only a minor variation but worthwhile to get among the little ice umbrellas that often form here. Follow Grindsbrook Clough but instead of turning right to head towards the ravine continue along the footpath. A short way up on the right hand side is a short icy/turfy corner. Climb the corner. Rock belay at the top if required. Either traverse off left from here or scramble up the hillside above. Requires the turf to be frozen.
