Restricted Access
A review of the previous access agreement with Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust (GWT) has now taken place and the climbable area has been extended,
This extension is only possible due to climbers following the agreed access since 2018 and demonstrating that we are a responsible user group. Needless to say maintaining this extended access depends on future adherence to the below climber's code of conduct too:
- All routes left of It’s A Sin on the lower tier and the whole of the upper tier on Main Cliff are permanently restricted to provide a sanctuary area within the reserve.
- Peregrines have nested on the crag in the past and nesting restrictions may apply
- Only use existing paths to prevent damage to sensitive habitat
- No removal of trees or branches on the crag or elsewhere within the reserve
- Take your litter home and pick up any you find at the crag
- No fires, camping or bivvying anywhere on the GWT’s land
- No further new routing
23m.
No description has been contributed for this climb.

βeta: Took a while to find the beta for this one. The moves to get to the sidepull felt impossible until I found a horizontal knee bar on the right which you can place whilst matching the very first jug. This allowed me to cross over left to the the crimp under the roof with my right hand and get a low pinch on the corner with my left hand. Once you've bumped your left leg high up onto the most obvious left foot hold you can release the knee bar and get your right foot onto the first jug. This beta made the climb go pretty quick as the rest isn't too bad as long as you have the energy to clip! | ||
