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.

βeta: I thought this was a hidden gem! Some nice moves. I didn't find much gear, kept wishing I had a size 1/2 friend, or an extra size 1. There were a few nuts, but always pointing the wrong way in my opinion, although I managed to oppose a couple. | βeta? | |

βeta: Excellent route, quite deceptive from below (steeper than it looks higher up). Finshes in a tree, which is always a treat. | βeta? | |
