The coast has unfortunately been used as a suicide spot and loose kit, clothing etc. lying around has resulted in the coastguard being called out. To avoid this, climbers are requested to ensure loose equipment and clothing is kept in rucksacks on the cliff top and preferably hidden from public view. You could also consider attaching a note to your sacks saying something like, 'Equipment being used by climbers - do not remove'.
Dates: 1 March to 31 July
Reason: Nesting Birds
No climbing between The Tool and Marmolata Arete inclusive to prevent disturbance of nesting birds. If using the Marmolata abseil point, please stay in the corner, spend as little time on top as possible and don't bring dogs to the top of the crag. Restrictions also apply from Sardine Special to Hard Day's Night, Andycap to Raindrop and Quasimodo to Insectitude inclusive.
Rockfax Description
A worthy and much harder variation on Mother Africa. Follow Mother Africa to the faultline, then climb direct up a blank wall (peg). Step left into the parent route near the top. © Rockfax

βeta: The peg’s in a classic 80s condition. A bit shite, but in good questionable enough condition that It should be given a chance. Solid #1 nut below and right before you traverse into the peg. Holds and moves are all there. | ||
