Seasonal Restrictions

Dates: 1 March to 30 June

Reason: Nesting Birds

Kestrels nest on the crag but no formal restriction is in place as they are not Schedule 1 (legally protected) or locally rare birds. If they are in residence on the crag, please climb past their nest site as quickly as possible taking care not to cause any damage and limit disturbance.

3 pitches.

Rockfax Description
An interesting series of technical pitches on excellent rock. Start underneath a smooth wall above a ledge at 2m.
1) 8m. Stand on the ledge and make a couple of fingery face moves past a small flake (thin sling runner) to a ledge and belay.
2) 14m. Climb a jamming crack up left to pass a line of overhangs. Head left on ledges to a flake and chockstone belay.
3) 12m. From the right-hand side of the flake, climb up the wall until it steepens. Step left and up past a wall of stacked stones to a big ledge and belay by a huge perched block.
4) 18m. From the top of the perched block, move up a corner and make a long step right to a big grassy ledge at the base of another larger corner. Climb up just right of the corner to a crack that leads to the top. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
An absorbing climb and of interest in its first 30 metres. Begin up a short smooth wall near the right-hand end of the crag and about 20 metres right of Trinity Slabs.
