Restricted Access

There is a loose flake on pitch 6 of Giant's Crawl near the belay - extreme care is needed.

Seasonal Restrictions

Dates: 1 March to 30 June

Reason: Nesting Birds

Peregrines have been known to nest on the upper section of B Buttress, above Giants Crawl as well as C Buttress. The last time the birds were known to nest was 2014, but if visiting the crag early in the season please be aware that they could return and report to the BMC if birds are seen nesting.

Rockfax Description
An intricate hard variation on Holocaust. Start as for Holocaust.

1) 6b, 25m. Climb Holocaust to its short rib, then launch up the left-trending thin crack passing a peg midway. Belay on Giant's Crawl.
2) 5b, 30m. Head up Giant's Crawl to the start of Catacomb's second pitch. Start up Catacomb but take the wall above until a groove on the right leads to the top. © Rockfax
