Dates: 1 March to 30 June
Reason: Nesting Birds
There are no applied bird restriction along the Wallsend cliff at present, (2022) However due to it's more isolated nature and available nesting ledges, it is often populated with breeding pairs of seabird through the season. As well as a Ravens nest in the Bigger Peace area.
Be sensible and avoid any routes close to nesting birds and advise others of nests, to leave them in peace. They will all be gone by mid July.
Rockfax Description
Some good, open face climbing in its upper half. Take care low down as the bolts are spaced and the rock friable. © Rockfax

βeta: I thought this was potentially a brilliant route. The first half is sustained and fairly steep, the next section involves some excellent, intricate slabby stuff, and then there's a juggy finish. It is still a bit crumbly in the bottom half but just needs a bit of care and should clean up if it gets enought traffic. The bolts are excitingly spaced - not one to push your grade on - but I thought scary rather than dangerous. | βeta? | |
