What's my options?

I was climbing at a quarry, fenced to prevent public access, and found a nest in a crack so I bailed and wrote NEST in chalk next to the crack. I hope this will keep people clear until the chalk fades but how can a bird ban be placed in a banned climbing area? 

Perhaps contact the local BMC access rep' for some guidance around this?

I first read "how can a bird be placed in a banned climbing area" and laughed my head off.

Sorry for the triteness of my reply to your serious question, just wanted to share

at least I haven't been shouted at yet

Is it a regular 'cheeky' spot? 

I must be thick / tired but is that what you're effectively saying? I know I'm misunderstanding something but that's how it reads to me!🤔

You’ve been there!

the quarry is not very banned, my biased interpretation is that the owners of the abandoned/dormant site are required to keep people out and low profile climbers don’t upset the status quo??

Whats that saying? Leave nothing but tick marks, take nothing but selfies….

Have I? I'm trying to think of a 'banned' quarry I've been to and can't recall any. Judging by your profile though, I can only think you're maybe talking about Craigpark Quarry beside Ratho, which AFAIK isn't banned. Or it wasn't when I climbed there and doesn't currently seem to be banned either.

Surely it's either banned or it isn't! Who has 'banned' it and which quarry are you actually talking about?

Edit: correction, I don't know your location from your profile, so have no idea which quarry you're referring to.

Hi, ok maybe you haven’t been to the quarry I’m referring to but I assume most climbers who’ve been around a few years have been to a similar quarry.

YOU HAVE NOW
