Restricted Access

There is a loose flake on pitch 6 of Giant's Crawl near the belay - extreme care is needed.

Seasonal Restrictions

Dates: 1 March to 30 June

Reason: Nesting Birds

Peregrines have been known to nest on the upper section of B Buttress, above Giants Crawl as well as C Buttress. The last time the birds were known to nest was 2014, but if visiting the crag early in the season please be aware that they could return and report to the BMC if birds are seen nesting.

Rockfax Description
An intricate face climb on great rock. Start at a ledge 3m left of the perched block at the start of Leopard's Crawl. Move up right between two narrow overlaps to a right-leading shallow depression. Follow this to a bulge and flat-topped spike. Move up and right to a groove and take this until a move left gains a slab and the right-hand end of the huge roof. Finish up a corner/groove. © Rockfax
