The landowner of Staden has recently changed and the new landower's attitude to climbing is unknown. If visiting Staden to climb please continue to keep your impact low - park sensibly, remove litter, keep noise to a minimum - and demonstrate to the new landowner that responsible access will have no impact on their activities or local residents. Local residents have expressed support for continued climber access.
Dates: 21 May to 30 June
Reason: Nesting Birds
Kestrels have been reported nesting at the left hand end of Joint Effort wall. Please avoid the leftmost routes here (Wooden Leg, Xenophobia, Suspiciat) to avoid disturbing them. There are no signs up yet (as of 21/5/22) so there may be people at the crag unaware - please pass on the message if possible.
Rockfax Description
The left edge of the wall has a steep start. Climb fluted rock then step left to the arete. Move back right (loose) and follow the long crack on the right to a short grass bank. © Rockfax

βeta: This is not bold as the RockFax book suggests. Just the first 4m. Plenty of good gear above this. Hexes good but not essential. Tree belay at top so a couple of slings good to protect the bark. | βeta? | |
