Dates: 1 March to 31 August

Reason: Nesting Birds

The quarry is leased from the Forestry Commission by Gloucester Wildlife Trust and managed as a nature reserve. Sections of the crag (usually vegetated) are not open for climbing - see p.264/5 of the Wye Valley Guide (CC 1998) for details. The crag is no longer subject to spring nesting restrictions as described in the guidebook.

12m. An arete easily accessible from the path getting into the top of the quarry by abseil if you choose to do this there is a large twin trunked tree ideal for abseil. Cleaned 14th January 2011. The line is the obvious arete with a long crack to it's left until half hight.
