The coast has unfortunately been used as a suicide spot and loose kit, clothing etc. lying around has resulted in the coastguard being called out. To avoid this, climbers are requested to ensure loose equipment and clothing is kept in rucksacks on the cliff top and preferably hidden from public view. You could also consider attaching a note to your sacks saying something like, 'Equipment being used by climbers - do not remove'.
Dates: 1 March to 31 July
Reason: Nesting Birds
No climbing between The Tool and Marmolata Arete inclusive to prevent disturbance of nesting birds. If using the Marmolata abseil point, please stay in the corner, spend as little time on top as possible and don't bring dogs to the top of the crag. Restrictions also apply from Sardine Special to Hard Day's Night, Andycap to Raindrop and Quasimodo to Insectitude inclusive.

UKC Logbook Description
Take the easiest line up the wall right of Buccaneer. Climb the crack a few meters left of the arĂȘte to gain a good ledge at 5m on right, continue up cracks to the fault line (possible belay, but better to do in one pitch with good rope work). Climb up into a large niche, when stopped by a loose looking roof step climb around the arĂȘte left on to the bulging wall and climb quickly to a ledge and short corner. Finish up this exiting rightwards.
