Dates: 1 March to 30 June
Reason: Nesting Birds
No restriction. The birds have nested away from the main climbing area in recent years. Please keep a low profile in nesting season - if you see the birds we would welcome any information.
Rockfax Description
A big line that gives an adventurous outing and is at the upper end of the grade. Start under the corner to the left of the undercut buttress taken by Tumbleweed Connection.
1) 5a, 35m. Climb the corner (sparse protection at first) to a bulge that is passed on the right. Continue up a groove and cracks to a grassy ledge and belay.
2) 4c, 30m. Move out rightwards to a groove (shared with Praying Mantis). Follow the groove past a steep section to slabby ground. Head leftwards to vegetation and trees. © Rockfax
