Restricted Access
A roadside trad climbing venue with some quite adventurous routes, but its convenient roadside location makes a very useful venue for mid-Wales climbers. The crag is divided into three distinct buttresses - Eastern Face, Central Buttress and the Bastion.
Seasonal Restrictions
Dates: 1 March to 31 July
Reason: Nesting Birds
The Eastern Face only is restricted due to nesting choughs, peregrines and cormorants. The crag is also located in a Special Protection Area for its avian assemblage. Climbers are also asked to avoid climbing here near to dusk as it's an important roosting site for choughs.
The routes on the Eastern Face are heavily vegetated and contain birds for most of the year and is probably best avoided altogether! Restrction here is from March 1st until July 31st inclusive.
Central Buttress - No restriction for 2018
The main face - The Bastion is unaffected by the seasonal restriction.

βeta: Protection is better than guidebook suggests - the poor nut is no longer useful, but the slot takes a smallish cam. I also got an RP in at head level before committing to the crux, which is definitely 6a, at least for people less than about 6' in height. | ||
