There is a loose flake on pitch 6 of Giant's Crawl near the belay - extreme care is needed.
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
A monumental line that tackles the narrow headwall at the back of Easter Gully. The crux is probably E1 without resort to traditional tactics! Care is needed with the belay below the crux as the best gear is at foot level. Start at the base of the wall.
1) 5a, 23m. Climb up the centre of the narrow buttress via short slabs and walls to a ledge below a steep crack on the right-hand side of a large Africa-shaped flake. Climb the strenuous crack to ledges - The Bandstand. Belay on the left - the gear placements are at foot level.
2) 5b, 22m. Thin, fingery and bold moves up the wall gain better holds and a slight niche. Continue up a short flake-crack to an overhung diagonal break and follow this left to a corner. Move up and right to a stance.
3) 4b, 18m. A traverse right along the ledge ends at an exposed rib. Move right around it and follow the slab to the top. © Rockfax
