Restricted Access

There is a loose flake on pitch 6 of Giant's Crawl near the belay - extreme care is needed.

Seasonal Restrictions

Dates: 1 March to 30 June

Reason: Nesting Birds

Peregrines have been known to nest on the upper section of B Buttress, above Giants Crawl as well as C Buttress. The last time the birds were known to nest was 2014, but if visiting the crag early in the season please be aware that they could return and report to the BMC if birds are seen nesting.

Rockfax Description
A stunning line up the very edge of the leaning arete that rises above Woodhouse Pinnacle. Start below the pinnacle.
From a flake in the chimney in the wall left of the pinnacle, reach around the arete to a good hold and climb steeply to below a groove. Move up to a flake, then head right under a small overhang to gain the arete and a peg. Climb the airy arete via a series of steep and technical moves. © Rockfax
