Seasonal Restrictions

Reason: Nesting Birds

Update (05/05/10) - Tawny Owls are nesting on the ledge where Central Climb breaks out left. These are substantial birds capable of defending a nest site - please avoid routes on the main buttress until mid-June.

Rockfax Description
16m. The central line on the buttress gives a pleasant climb. Trend left up the groove to pass the bulges then finish direct over a small overhang. © Rockfax

βeta: Yep. It appears the birds return there every year. Steer clear until June as advised on the crag page.
