Seasonal Restrictions

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.

Brilliant climbing up the centre of the wall with good gear and some stiff moves, up to a rest in the half height cave, then enjoyably sustained climbing up the cracks to the top.

Tony Penning.
