Restricted Access
All of the Wallsend crags face west so catch the afternoon sun well. Wallsend South is closer to the sea and can suffer from soapy rock on still and humid days, whereas Wallsend North is set back a little and is less affected by greasyness. The Colors Area and Hong Kon Phooey Area are cut off at high tides or in rough seas.Seasonal Restrictions
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.

βeta: I fell off lots of times and damaged nothing but my ego. I've no recollection of being scared about hitting ledges, and one of my falls was from the crux. | βeta? | |

βeta: That's funny, I fell off the route before the first ascent and I didn't hit the ledge. Since I only fell off once I considered that place to be the crux. However, it was damp so I guess it depends were you think the crux is. By the way I didn't bolt the route so I'm not being defensive - I'm just surprised. | βeta? | |

βeta: Badly bolted! Coming off the crux would probably put you on the big ledge below with a good chance of injury. I'm not bothered about taking big falls, but this is supposed to be a sport route. | βeta? | |
