Restricted Access

The crag is owned and managed by Natural England and located in the Derbyshire Dales National Nature Reserve.

Seasonal Restrictions

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. 

18m.

The right-hand corner of the alcove is worthwhile, giving enjoyable bridging marred only by the polished holds. Exit left. © Rockfax

βeta: New cord added to the abseil point on 04/08/20 as the main rope and back up cord through the maillon was looking quite old. Maillon looks in good condition though.
