The woods are owned and managed for low volume timber extraction (mostly birch). The new owner (as of 2023) has no objection to climbing along the length of the edge. However, the following is expected of all visiting climbers:
Dates: 1 March to 30 June
Reason: Nesting Birds
Tawny owls sometimes nest on the crag in the spring (previously on Kremlin Crack or Roof Route) - if present avoid the route(s) they are occupying until the nest is vacated.
Tawny owls have been known to viciously attack people climbing near their nest, so please steer well clear of these routes until the chicks have fledged, both for the benefit of the birds and your own wellbeing.
Rockfax Description
From a jug, traverse right using the lip and crimps above, finishing on top. Originally climbed sticking to the lip all the way, which was harder until one of the crimps broke; both are now similar in difficulty. © Rockfax

βeta: people have mentioned a lower crimp snapping off? I am 5'5" and I managed this perfectly fine, just need to be good with rockovers and lock offs! | ||

βeta: The nearer of the two crimps above the lip has now broken - definitely a harder move to get to the further (but better) crimp, requiring one or more of a knee pad, lock-off power, and very long arms. | βeta? | |
