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
An aquatic amble across the series of sloping ledges. It is great as a winter route (see page 179) and okay as a rock climb in the dry but way too exciting if there has been much rain. Start on the right and climb up the groove or the ledges just to its left. Then follow the ramps up and left, passing the main flow, to a choice of finishing grooves. If already well-soaked, it is probably worth exiting easily rightwards. © Rockfax
