Seasonal Restrictions
Dates: 1 March to 31 July
Reason: Nesting Birds
Tawny owls nest on the first pitch of Creagh Dhu Wall (shared with One step in the Crowds). It's also worth noting that Tawny owls can be exceptionally aggressive in defending their nests and there are known cases of serious eye injuries caused to people who venture too close to Tawny owl nests!
April 2024 - Jackdaws nesting on the first pitch of Mensor, please avoid this area until they have left.

A good route that starts at one of the few places clear of vegetation. Follow the clean line up left past a spike and onto a small ledge. Move right and go up to the main rampline. Follow this to where it becomes a corner and climb up this to the top. © Rockfax
