Restricted Access

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.

Seasonal Restrictions

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.
30m. 1) 5b. Start as for Cyclops. Climb the slab on the left, then the wall above, to join the second slab of The Camel. Climb up this slab to a tree belay.
2) 5a/b. Climb directly up the crack, right of the tree (occasional peg), passing a small overlap. Move left, slightly, to reach the top.

1976.
