Dates: 15 February to 31 May
Reason: Nesting Birds
2023 26th February update: The Ravens do not appear to be using the existing nest in Gardoms Unconquerable - however one more check will be made in case they are late starting, so please be observant and report any sightings if you are in the area.
In recent years a Tawny Owl has nested in the Layback Crack/Flake Crack.area - it is not known if they are present in 2023 but please keep your eyes and ears out if climbing in this area.
Rockfax Description
The thin crack with a useful but flexible spike (nut either side or a thin tape over it) is technical and slippery but nice and safe. © Rockfax

βeta: 4b/c climbing with no useful gear until the spike, didn't feel that safe to me! The crux move is well protected though. | βeta? | |
