Seasonal Restrictions

Dates: 1 April to 30 June

Reason: Nesting Birds

Restriction only applies to the routes Samurai and Twll, to protect nesting Choughs.

55m, 2 pitches. Start midway between Samurai & an obvious iron spike 10m tonite right, 5m up the cliff. There should be a line of boreholes above you. Carrying 2 sets of cams & some micro-wires would be wise.
P1. 30m 5c Ascend a series of overlaps & slabs past 2 thread-able boreholes to a tricky pull over a roof. Bold but easier climbing soon leads to a thin horizontal crack. Traverse left above this for 3 metres to a block & then more steeply up left to a huge detached-looking block. Step left around the roof above, onto a slab & pad up this to a good stance (ancient peg) under the big roof.
P2. 25m 5b Traverse diagonally rightwards under the roof, until it can be past, then head more easily up & left to an old iron stake & belay.
