Seasonal Restrictions
Dates: 1 March to 30 June
Reason: Nesting Birds
Kestrels nest on the crag but no formal restriction is in place as they are not Schedule 1 (legally protected) or locally rare birds. If they are in residence on the crag, please climb past their nest site as quickly as possible taking care not to cause any damage and limit disturbance.
Rockfax Description
A pleasant first pitch and a serious second one, passing some hollow blocks with poor protection.
1) 4b, 42m. Move up to a sloping niche right of Digitation's stacked blocks and pull out left on good holds. Climb the face and cracks rightwards to below the slim overlap, then climb the wall above directly (around 2m right of the small right-facing corner) to join Digitation. Abseil descent possible from here.
2) 4c, 23m. Climb the walls and slim right-facing corners right of Digitation's finger-crack. © Rockfax
