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: found the top moves far harder than the bottom section though proably just the potential fall onto that big boulder that was unnerving me. more like 6metres definitely. guide should be changed. nice climb, though a bit fluttery for my tastesd really. | βeta? | |

βeta: This line is almost 6m high (measure it!) and you would deck from the delicate finish (4b?) onto a sloping landing with blocks. Having said that its a lovely problem. | βeta? | |
