Restricted Access
Seasonal Restrictions
Dates: 1 March to 31 July
Reason: Nesting Birds
The annual nesting restriction covers the whole crag. Several protected species nest both on the crag and directly on the crag above the descent gully, and the whole crag is restricted between the above dates. Keep an eye/ear open for the birds and for signs on the approach. If the birds fledge early or fail to nest then the signs will be removed.
The routes on the left hand side that are approached by abseil (Opal Moon) are also restricted due to nesting sea-birds and the restriction applies here even if restrictions are lifted for the remainder of the crag.
Rockfax Description
A beautiful pitch of sustained difficulties. Start up Central Pillar and break out left at the roof and then head up to the next break. Traverse left until moves back up right allow the upper wall to be gained and climbed to a lower-off. © Rockfax

βeta: Final 2 bolts of climbing was a lot thinner than I'd remembered. Not sure if a hold has broken off? | βeta? | |

βeta: Chopped all the old threads and added a bolt to replace them. Added one to replace the old glued hanger lower down too, so much nicer to climb now and no need to ever faff with the threads again. Also added stainless rings to the lower off. | βeta? | |
