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.

Climb Holly Tree Wall to gain the niche on the right of the tree. Move left behind the tree and foot traverse one of the lower branches to gain open handed climbing up an obvious crack.
Possibly a better variation woud be to climb Holly Tree Wall Direct and then step right into this.
