Seasonal Restrictions

Dates: 1 February to 27 July

Reason: Nesting Birds

Summer 2022

Birds have nested early and the restrictions are lifted for 2022 only.

 

A very important  sea- bird nesting area and seasonal restrictions apply to the whole crag. 

 

3 pitches. Infidel Direct is really the original Infidel. There is no 'Indirect'! Ben Wintringham's first ascent in 1978 (with Joe Brown and Marian Wintringham) was straight up (with 2 pts of aid) and he described it as such, and confirmed this verbally. Subsequently climbed free (Tinnings), then Moran and Williams claimed the 'direct' as a new variation, but it never was, and there's no merit in traversing off route to lower the grade, as it is obvious to plough on upwards. Bog standard E3 5c, a little sustained.

Wintringham, Brown, Wintringham 02/Sep/1978.
