There is a loose flake on pitch 6 of Giant's Crawl near the belay - extreme care is needed.
Dates: 1 March to 30 June
Reason: Nesting Birds
Peregrines have been known to nest on the upper section of B Buttress, above Giants Crawl as well as C Buttress. The last time the birds were known to nest was 2014, but if visiting the crag early in the season please be aware that they could return and report to the BMC if birds are seen nesting.
Rockfax Description
Fierce technical climbing that is reliant on a number of pegs for protection. Start at a small spike belay as for Tumble. On the right is a thin flake. From the flake (peg), make bold moves to gain a slim groove and climb it (2 pegs) until a move left gains Tumble at the top of its groove. Move up to below a short crack, traverse right to a shallow recess, then pull back left to stand on a very narrow ledge. A flake allows the overhang above to be passed before the wall and final overlap lead to a belay. © Rockfax
