Crag features
The Western Walls are the extensive stratified walls running south from the fence-line to the prominent leaning prow overlooking Wind Bay. The walls contain some of the most outrageous low-grade climbing in mainland Britain: intimidating, well-protected climbing on solid rock.
Approach notes
Approach from Gupton Gate on the track marked by white posts in 50 mins.
Restricted Access
The crag is in Range West, an Army live-firing range. Briefed climbers (with a valid permit) can access the crag year round when the range is not firing (all weekends & Bank Holidays plus occasional week days). Briefings now last from date of briefing to following Easter. Night firing normally occurs on Tuesday & Thursday but may also alternate to Monday & Wednesday.
When approaching from Gupton Gate in teh nesting season (March to July), Please note there is a restricted area on the middle section of Frainslake Beach due to nesting Ring Plovers - please stay on top of the dunes, or at low tide, low down on the beach when passing this area.
Thank you!
