Restricted Access

The National Trust (who own the Dewerstone and surrounding land) are happy to allow climbing access but ask that abseil descent from trees is not used to prevent damage to the trees.

Seasonal Restrictions

Dates: 21 April to 30 June

Reason: Nesting Birds

Kestrels are nesting on Upper Raven Buttress - it is worth avoiding these rarely visited climbs while the birds are nesting and it is likely that the young will have fledged by the end of June.
17m.

Rockfax Description
Some bold and committing climbing up the wall left of the corner. From 3m up La Bête Noire move out left to a pocket and sidepull. Two tiny pockets on the right are used to move up to and past a black seam to a break. Finish direct past a pocket and final short crimpy wall. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
Climb the start of La Bete Noir for ten or so feet. Just below the ledge is a small side pull utilize this to make a long span out to the face then continue direct to the top of the buttress. The gear is small and cunning. Also no side holds or side runners!
