Restricted Access

Permission is no longer required to climb here. However, access still relies on a permissive agreement for passage through the grazing land. Please use the stiles and ensure all gates are closed.

There is a permanent dog ban in place under CRoW at the crag and the surrounding land.

Seasonal Restrictions

Dates: 20 April to 20 June

Reason: Nesting Birds

Kestrels regularly nest on Eastby Buttress - if the birds are present avoid routes on this buttress until the young have fledged (usually by the end of June).

34m.

Rockfax Description
34m. A bit of a non-line though interesting and popular, with stacks of good climbing. Climb the right-hand groove to a niche, step down and right onto the face and cross to the far arete and a possible stance just around the corner. Continue across the slab via The Padder to a well positioned finish up Whaup Edge. © Rockfax
