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.
Rockfax Description
Climb the front of the buttress to the bulges then continue up the crack skirting the left-hand side of the roof to reach the top of the pillar - possible stance. Trend right to finish out on the exposed nose. © Rockfax
