Seasonal Restrictions

Dates: 15 February to 31 May

Reason: Nesting Birds

Signed restriction applies to Central and Right-Hand Buttresses.

The Left-Hand Buttress is not restricted, but please only use the descent on the left side of the crag (looking in) and whilst approaching, move quickly and quietly until under the LH Buttress to avoid disturbing the birds.

Please report any observations of nesting ravens on the crag to access@thebmc.co.uk

Rockfax Description
The wall left of Western Union's top corner is a very tough and exposed adventure. Follow Western Union to the niche at the break. Climb the bold slim groove (peg) on the left up onto the wall, just to the left of the corner, then go left to some undercuts. Move up to a tiny niche before hard moves leftwards gain better holds and easier climbing to the top. © Rockfax
