Restricted Access

The crag lies in an SSSI.  Natural England are happy for climbing to take place here provided that the following rules are respected:1) No gardening / vegetation removal.

2) Routes should be examined carefully for evidence of nesting birds before climbing.  Do not climb a route if there appear to be birds nesting nearby and retreat if nesting birds are inadvertently encountered.  Inform Natural England if Peregrine Falcons, Ring Ouzel or Merlin are encountered in the vicinity of the crag.  You can contact Natural England via the crag moderator on [email protected] - am happy to talk to Natural England on behalf of other climbers.

A voluntary agreement has been made that climbers should restrict their activities to the parts of this crag (and neighbouring Hangingstone scar) indicated in the linked photo:

16m. Grovel around for footholds inside the offwidth crack or layback enthusiastically to reach the thank god holds that co-incide with the first gear placement. Continue up easier ground to finish up the left-hand side of the prow.
