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.
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).
Rockfax Description
Good fun and almost a sport route at about 6b+. Climb a groove right of the ivy then move left to a hole and twin threads. Make some hard moves up past more threads to a lower-off on the traverse line of The Spider. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
Strip back any new growth on the ivy as you go past as it can hide a foothold which makes getting across to the jug handle a fair bit easier!
FA. Gary Gibson 1983.

βeta: Where's the French grade option? F6b+, I reckon - features some pretty steep and stiff pulls on the pockets, and fairly sustained for it's height. Worth 2 stars as everyone seems to think. | βeta? | |

βeta: Effectively a clip up, and a really good route. The pint pot handle IS still there! I don't know where they got the idea it had gone from? | βeta? | |

βeta: You just need 6 quickdraws for this, the threads seem to have been recently replaced, but hard to get to the foot of the climb. | βeta? | |
