Restricted Access
An SSSI and a Special Area Of Conservation, the vegetation in the gorge area is especially important. Among the rare species to be found in the area are Scarce Turf-moss, Tunbridge Filmy-fern, Deratocarpon miniatum and Rock Fingerwort. The rock face and exposures are also nationally important geological features. Vegetation clearance and modification of the rock faces is to be avoided without prior consent from Natural Resources Wales (NRW) and the clearance of trees and undergrowth has in the past has led to the real threat of access restrictions.
While NRW manage the North Side of the River, the South Side is privately owned and the land owner has stated that up to 6 local climbers may climb on the south side of the river. We ask climbers to respect this and to help improve relations by keeping the area tidy.
Rockfax Description
Pull through the roof to the base of the groove as for The Big Time. Make a desperate sequence through the bulges to reach the base of the central groove on Still Life and finish up this. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
Direct! Start below the obvious square groove dominating the centre of the crag (The Big Time). Climb easily up to a shakeout below the roof, then thug through this with little if any technique required, to a big jug and no-hands rest at the base of The Big Time groove. Pull up into the Still Life groove and keeping on blasting up Still Life to the top.
