Restricted Access

No known access issues. However Anglesey Council (who manage the coastal path that passes close to the top pf the crag)  have recieved complaints from walkers, that climbers cause a hazard by belaying across the path. The neighbouring farmer has also blamed climbers for the collapse of the boundary wall, due to climbers using it to belay from. Please avoid doing this!

The land above the crag is now designated open access land.

Multiple Gul nests around the area, worth inspecting your route before commiting.

Seasonal Restrictions

Dates: 1 February to 31 July

Rockfax Description
An excellent route that is steeper than most routes of this grade but with enormous holds. Start below a prominent jutting flake. Climb up and right to gain a sloping shelf. Move left along this past the flake and head up the steep crack to a final crux move. © Rockfax
