Restricted Access
The coast has unfortunately been used as a suicide spot and loose kit, clothing etc. lying around has resulted in the coastguard being called out. To avoid this, climbers are requested to ensure loose equipment and clothing is kept in rucksacks on the cliff top and preferably hidden from public view. You could also consider attaching a note to your sacks saying something like, 'Equipment being used by climbers - do not remove'.
Seasonal Restrictions
Dates: 1 March to 31 July
Reason: Nesting Birds
No climbing between The Tool and Marmolata Arete inclusive to prevent disturbance of nesting birds. If using the Marmolata abseil point, please stay in the corner, spend as little time on top as possible and don't bring dogs to the top of the crag. Restrictions also apply from Sardine Special to Hard Day's Night, Andycap to Raindrop and Quasimodo to Insectitude inclusive.

βeta: I don't think the second pitch is safe to climb until it's been cleaned. When my friend and I attempted it in the weekend of 14/15 Sep 19', I pulled off a big-ish block straight off from the anchor of first pitch/start of the second pitch. I attempted it a few more times and each time there's small crumbly stuff coming down so we decided to bail. Anyone trying this route please be careful. | βeta? | |

βeta: Hadn't planned in advance to do this route but picked it partly because it is starred in the 2015 CC guidebook where the second pitch is described as fine. Wish I'd known that no one's logged climbing it since 1987! We didn't have time to reclimb/down-climb, but if anyone is keen there's a DMM Dragon Cam 5, a couple of nuts, snapgates and slings, and a screwgate. | βeta? | |
