Restricted Access

No access problems. The area is part of the Eastern Edges SSSI designated for its assemblage of breeding birds - please make sure dogs are under control to protect birds and sheep: the grazier has reported losses.

Seasonal Restrictions

Reason: Nesting Birds

Ring ouzel nest sites change quickly and frequently as they often have several broods each year with different nest sites for each brood. On site signage will be up around any of the nest sites where climbing may impact on the birds and this is always up to date and accurate.

βeta: if your jamming, particularly with your feet, is a bit shite like mine then you'll find this a bit tricky. probably easy for seasoned gritrats. very nice strenuos climbing though. lots of pro, good size1 wire above crux.
