Seasonal Restrictions

Dates: 15 February to 31 May

Reason: Nesting Birds

2023 26th February update: The Ravens do not appear to be using the existing nest in Gardoms Unconquerable - however one more check will be made in case they are late starting, so please be observant and report any sightings if you are in the area.

In recent years a Tawny Owl has nested in the Layback Crack/Flake Crack.area - it is not known if they are present in 2023 but please keep your eyes and ears out if climbing in this area.

 

10m.

Rockfax Description
Start up GFC (or direct - 5b ) then move right onto the wall and climb it direct. Nice positions and moves but sadly a bit artificial. © Rockfax

βeta: A nice route. Not that artificial if you start direct with a big pull.
