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.
20m.
An excellent, strenuous crack climb, high in the grade. Climb on solid jams past an awkward section at the first break. Continue to where the crack closes and step left into a second wider crack. Awkward moves lead to a ledge. An easily pre-placed rope avoids the need to climb unprotected through the unpleasant hanging gardens above the ledge shown in the topo. Route shown on topo for Cummings and Goings (click right).
1968.

βeta: Really good route to practice your jams, very safe when you have a couple big cams and the garden at the top wasnt too bad (very dry) | βeta? | |

βeta: Very clean (apart from upper third in \'hanging gardens\') and dry. Definitely avoid if \'gardens\' at all damp or pre-place a rope. | βeta? | |
