3 March 2023 update: Peregrines and other seabirds are either prospecting or nesting on this crag.

A temporary ban has been put in place by the National Trust covering the area of cliff between Tubby Head and Bawden Cliff, so includes all of the major route locations up to and including the America Buttress. Once the exact locations of any nests have been identified, restrictions may be lifted.

from 03/03/0023

20m. Skirmish Slab. The obvious red corner to the left of the slab. Scramble up the gully and climb boldly over the ledges to the base of the corner and good gear. Follow the corner to the block, step left to avoid the loose blocks at the top.

βeta: The loose blocks at the top of the groove where cleaned 2013 the year before the first ascent. The remaining blocks were well attached and safe in 2014. It's wise to inspect from the top before an ascent, as rocks shift in time, even though the climb exits left before the blocks.
