Seasonal Restrictions

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

βeta: Abseil from top of P2 is left and up at end of the traverse, slightly hidden behind bush. 50m ropes ok for Ab with 1m to spare.

βeta: Pitch 2 is well worth doing and you get the added bonus of completing the route too.
