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
A fine route with a crux that feels more committing than it should. Climb the previous route to the top of the crack - a good warm-up for what lies ahead. Attack the wall above, first left then right (good wires) to a desperate exit. Reaching the key hold is one thing, using it is another. The direct start is f7B. © Rockfax
