The site is managed by Shropshire and Montgomery Wildlife Trusts and managed as a nature reserve. Please pay attention to the following: - Climbing is not allowed in the Northern Quarry or on Asterley Rocks. Organised groups wishing to use 'Cul de Sac' quarry - please contact the Red Ridge Centre first to avoid overcrowding. Tel (01938) 810821. The development of additional new routes may jeopardise the existing access arrangements - please contact the BMC for futher details.
There is an agreement between Shropshire Wildlife Trust, Montgomery Wildlife Trust and the British Mountaineering Council to allow individual recreational climbers and club members to rock climb on the rocks at Llanymynech. Nothing in the agreement is legally binding; however failure by climbers to follow these guidelines could lead to a permanent restriction on climbing at the whole site.The Wildlife Trusts welcomes visitors onto the nature reserve to explore and enjoy at close hand the spectacle of the cliffs and the wildlife this area supports.
Dates: 1 March to 30 June
Reason: Nesting Birds
Keep an eye open for signs detailing the nesting restriction in the Red Wall area. Currently all routes on Foreigner Wall are permanently restricted. Seasonal Restrictions apply to all routes on Red Walls from 1 March to 30 June.
Rockfax Description
Good climbing featuring a steep upper third on superb rock. Start up a shallow groove from where steady climbing leads to the final steepening. The bolts are a little spaced on the lower section. © Rockfax

βeta: The hardest and best route on Red Wall with a very pumpy top 30ft. In desperate need of a bolt before and after the first bolt though. | βeta? | |

βeta: Possibly the best route on the wall. Slightly bold start then steep, sustained and excellant finish. Also one of the hardest on the wall, maybe 7a+. | βeta? | |
