The crag is not mapped as open country under CRoW, something that may surprise anyone who has climbed there. It is, however, in the ownership of the National Trust and access made available by the trust. BMC is taking up the CRoW mapping issue with Natural England. Please be aware peregrine have nested at the crag. If you observe them during the Spring months, please do not disturb them during this sensitive period - give the nest site a wide berth.
Dates: 1 March to 30 September
Reason: Nesting Birds

It is a criminal offense to intentionally or recklessly kill, injure or take a Peregrine.
Rockfax Description
15m. Trend right then follow the crack that runs up towards the jutting block of the monolith. From here, footholds trend left up the face, and where these run out head straight up the cracked face to easier ground and then the top. © Rockfax
