Restricted Access

Seasonal Restrictions

Dates: 1 March to 31 July

Reason: Nesting Birds

The annual nesting restriction covers the whole crag. Several protected species nest both on the crag and directly on the crag above the descent gully, and  the whole crag is restricted between the above dates. Keep an eye/ear open for the birds and for signs on the approach. If the birds fledge early or fail to nest then the signs will be removed.

 

The routes on the left hand side that are approached by abseil (Opal Moon) are also restricted due to nesting sea-birds and the restriction applies here even if restrictions are lifted for the remainder of the crag.

25m.

Rockfax Description
A superb direct line improving on a few old attempts up this same bit of rock. Climb up then pull leftwards into a groove which is followed to a break (rest). Continue direct up the upper groove to a lower-off above the break that runs under the long capping overhang. © Rockfax
