Seasonal Restrictions

Dates: 1 March to 30 June

Reason: Nesting Birds

2024 update 6th April - the birds have moved to a different site this year, therefore the restriction has been lifted. This may change again so please check back and observe any signs if they reappear.

UKC Logbook Description
Direct start over blunt arete is thin and crimpy, then cracked wall. Possible to start on left and step right above the crux which reduces grade to 6a+.

βeta: No more than 6b if started direct. A couple of nice moves mid-route on the clean wall/shield. Good steep pulls at the top, but best not to think about what is hiding the blocks together.

βeta: Arguably better is to start up Footprints in the Snow and step right to join the route at the first ledge, giving a more balanced 6a+.
