There is a loose flake on pitch 6 of Giant's Crawl near the belay - extreme care is needed.
Dates: 1 March to 30 June
Reason: Nesting Birds
Peregrines have been known to nest on the upper section of B Buttress, above Giants Crawl as well as C Buttress. The last time the birds were known to nest was 2014, but if visiting the crag early in the season please be aware that they could return and report to the BMC if birds are seen nesting.
Rockfax Description
Contrasting styles of climbing combine to make up this exceptional route. Start at a conspicuous right-leading ramp.
1) 4c, 16m. Climb the technical ramp rightwards to a belay at the base of a large corner. Not a pitch to be rushed!
2) 4b, 12m. Climb flakes in the wall right of the corner, then move left to a stance and belay below the upper corner.
3) 4c, 25m. Layback the corner-crack to some small ledges below where the corner starts to overhang. Move right and climb slabby rock to the top. © Rockfax

βeta: There is a loose block just at the top of the second pitch. It is cunningly disguised as awesome hold. | ||
