The crag is owned and managed by Natural England and located in the Derbyshire Dales National Nature Reserve.
Reason: Nesting Birds
2024 - IMPORTANT NEW UPDATE: The whole crag restriction is back in force (5pm 9th May). After lifting the restriction yesterday, the Peregrines were unfortunately observed to be significantly disturbed by the presence of climbers even well away from the restricted area. Thus Natural England have changed the signs on site and the whole crag is likely to remain restricted for the rest of the breeding season.
Rockfax Description
A very direct line up the face, offering some good climbing and a fine finish. Start at the toe of the buttress.
1) 5a, 22m. From the lowest point of the buttress, climb into and up a shallow groove that leads to the break. Move left via a thin flake, then climb the rounded arete to a stance on the terrace.
2) 5b, 22m. Climb the arete to a bulge, and pull over this to reach a wide crack and a well-positioned finish. © Rockfax
