Seasonal Restrictions

Dates: 1 March to 30 June

Reason: Nesting Birds

Kestrels nest on the crag but no formal restriction is in place as they are not Schedule 1 (legally protected) or locally rare birds. If they are in residence on the crag, please climb past their nest site as quickly as possible taking care not to cause any damage and limit disturbance.

Rockfax Description
Contrasting pitches - a subtle wall pitch and an easier (but very exposed) second. There is good wire protection on the first pitch but it needs seeking out. Start by an easy scramble to a ledge on the left side of the buttress.
1) 4b, 15m. Move up the right-trending ramp and continue intricately to good wires before climbing up to a belay on ledges.
2) 4a, 18m. Move right into a slight corner on the right wall and follow this to an exposed position on the arete. Move right and finish steeply on great holds. © Rockfax
