The site is managed by Shropshire and Montgomery Wildlife Trusts and managed as a nature reserve. Please pay attention to the following: - Climbing is not allowed in the Northern Quarry or on Asterley Rocks. Organised groups wishing to use 'Cul de Sac' quarry - please contact the Red Ridge Centre first to avoid overcrowding. Tel (01938) 810821. The development of additional new routes may jeopardise the existing access arrangements - please contact the BMC for futher details.
There is an agreement between Shropshire Wildlife Trust, Montgomery Wildlife Trust and the British Mountaineering Council to allow individual recreational climbers and club members to rock climb on the rocks at Llanymynech. Nothing in the agreement is legally binding; however failure by climbers to follow these guidelines could lead to a permanent restriction on climbing at the whole site.The Wildlife Trusts welcomes visitors onto the nature reserve to explore and enjoy at close hand the spectacle of the cliffs and the wildlife this area supports.
Dates: 1 March to 30 June
Reason: Nesting Birds
Keep an eye open for signs detailing the nesting restriction in the Red Wall area. Currently all routes on Foreigner Wall are permanently restricted. Seasonal Restrictions apply to all routes on Red Walls from 1 March to 30 June.

This long pitch with some good moves gives a memorable outing. The upper section is an amazing wall at the grade. © Rockfax

βeta: Trundled the large loose block on the half way ledge. Was quite a crash and rolled a long way - came to rest in the middle of the grassy area below. Much safer without this, but may be some residual small loose stuff on half way ledge. Note there is still a cracked block with a big chalked X, between Curfew and Grid Iron just above half way ledge, but isn't on either route. | ||

βeta: Warning: there is a large loose block at half height. It is completely loose and rocks back and forth, and would destroy all below, even wearing a helmet should it fall. I put a chalk 'X' on it. | βeta? | |

βeta: Rather nice F6b, lower wall is a so-so warm-up, top wall is steadily unsustained with lots of good holds and an amenable angle. Good climbing. | βeta? | |
