25/05/2022 - We have now confirmed that there is a kestrel nest halfway up the "Owl and the Antelope". Please refrain from climbing routes in this area from April 15th - July 31st to allow the birds to care for their young.
BMC have been advised that Barn Owls could be nesting at this crag. If so these birds have special protection under the Wildlife and Countryside Act. Avoid climbing the routes on the Left Hand Retaining wall "Left Over" to "Half man-Half Machine" inclusive.
Rockfax Description
Good climbing. A tough start above the low overlap gains easier but interesting ground. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
A line of 8 bolts in the centre of the Quarry, three of which are particularly closely spaced above an obvious ached overlap. Thin at the start and tricky at the top. Those of a more nervous disposition are welcome to add more bolts to the easy middle section.
A Rosier 24/Mar/2012.

βeta: The start is nails and definitely harder than 6c. If you're good on strong balancey moves from thin fingers to thin fingers then you might find the start 6c+ Climbed everything further up after clean twice, some big ol' runouts!!! Got the start/crux clean on last go of the day (one big move to tiny crimp) but dropped it top of lower slab. Just so tiny and thin! | ||

βeta: Much harder now the starting hand hold is rubble on the floor. Gives you an extra inch off the ground though? | βeta? | |
