The National Trust (who own the Dewerstone and surrounding land) are happy to allow climbing access but ask that abseil descent from trees is not used to prevent damage to the trees.
Dates: 21 April to 30 June
Reason: Nesting Birds
Kestrels are nesting on Upper Raven Buttress - it is worth avoiding these rarely visited climbs while the birds are nesting and it is likely that the young will have fledged by the end of June.

A steep start up through the inverted-V feature leads to the easier-angled but still difficult climbing on Agag's Direct. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
Short and strenuous. Start in the niche, at the right end of the wall. Climb this, using jams and bridging, to join Agag’s Direct.
The jamming can be avoided

βeta: Listed as HS in the Climbers Club guidebook. For sure the moves are 4b, but the climb is Severe, following Agag’s Direct. Its much easier than the HS 4bs at Dewerstone | βeta? | |
