2023 26th February update: The Ravens do not appear to be using the existing nest in Gardoms Unconquerable - however one more check will be made in case they are late starting, so please be observant and report any sightings if you are in the area.
In recent years a Tawny Owl has nested in the Layback Crack/Flake Crack.area - it is not known if they are present in 2023 but please keep your eyes and ears out if climbing in this area.

Just right of the arete, climb a short corner and the blocky continuation crack above. It gives steep climbing for the grade. © Rockfax

βeta: Seemed Pretty tough for a Diff. Nice little climb this one, shame I missed the owl, think there's a crow living in there now. Yeah, I think the route goes to the right at the end of the crack up a little groove. I decided to go straight up for a slightly more challenging finish which was nice though unprotected. | βeta? | |
