Restricted Access

The crag is on private land and continued access depends on climbers maintaining our good relationship with the landowner, who runs his business from the lorry park in the quarry. Be friendly if you meet the owner or his employees and make sure you follow the new access route (details below) to avoid any problems.

Seasonal Restrictions

Dates: 15 February to 31 May

Reason: Nesting Birds

βeta: Suggest extending the third and last bolt. Shares a lower off with the 6c next door so easy to arrange.

βeta: Ok rather than superb. Its still slightly run out post re-gearing, but the bolts are in the right places.
