Restricted Access

The Beeston Tor caves at the right-hand side of the crag are an important archaeological site and the landowner (The National Trust) do not want any disturbance to the caves themselves. The Trust has requested that if climbers at the crag notice any suspicious activity around the caves (eg digging, metal detecting, carrying equipment or bags to/from the caves etc), that they call 01335 350503 and leave a message with any details.

Seasonal Restrictions

Dates: 1 March to 30 June

Reason: Nesting Birds

The restriction applies from Flying Doctor The Thorn to Central Wall / Cleo's Mood inclusive (depending on which guidebook you are using).

38m, 2 pitches.

Rockfax Description
The right-hand side of the face gives a fine pitch. Climb the shallow scoop/groove directly above the stance then continue up the pleasantly sustained wall and bulge above to join Central Wall into the Ivy Gash. © Rockfax
