Dates: 1 March to 1 August
Reason: Nesting Birds
There may be a temporary restriction on the route 'Hercules' due to nesting chough - look for on site signs and avoid this route if chough activity around the hole in the brown pillar adjacent to the first half of the route.
Rockfax Description
An interesting route which has a very hard initial section which stops many attempts, and then eases considerably above. At the base of the wall is a cave. Climb up into this and step out rightwards along a break. Make a difficult move up the wall right of the cave, then move up and left across the wall to reach the easy upper section. This can be climbed almost anywhere. © Rockfax

βeta: Sucked that I found this was downgraded. This was my first climb in Pembrokeshire and I was chuffed to nail on the onsight. Nice thuggy moves getting out of the cave, even missed crucial hand holds. | βeta? | |

βeta: Definitely worth more than 5b (every other route I did this w/end was 5b & I wasn't even close on this one! Next time it'll be different...) | βeta? | |
