The site is managed by Shropshire and Montgomery Wildlife Trusts and managed as a nature reserve. Please pay attention to the following: - Climbing is not allowed in the Northern Quarry or on Asterley Rocks. Organised groups wishing to use 'Cul de Sac' quarry - please contact the Red Ridge Centre first to avoid overcrowding. Tel (01938) 810821. The development of additional new routes may jeopardise the existing access arrangements - please contact the BMC for futher details.
There is an agreement between Shropshire Wildlife Trust, Montgomery Wildlife Trust and the British Mountaineering Council to allow individual recreational climbers and club members to rock climb on the rocks at Llanymynech. Nothing in the agreement is legally binding; however failure by climbers to follow these guidelines could lead to a permanent restriction on climbing at the whole site.The Wildlife Trusts welcomes visitors onto the nature reserve to explore and enjoy at close hand the spectacle of the cliffs and the wildlife this area supports.
Dates: 1 March to 30 June
Reason: Nesting Birds
Keep an eye open for signs detailing the nesting restriction in the Red Wall area. Currently all routes on Foreigner Wall are permanently restricted. Seasonal Restrictions apply to all routes on Red Walls from 1 March to 30 June.

βeta: See BMC RAD re concerns about the stability of the block that houses this route's lower-off bolts. Recent visual inspection - currently unconfirmed by actual measurement - suggests that the vertical crack in the borehole that defines the block's right side has slightly widened over the past few weeks; ongoing monitoring should give a clearer picture. [Bear in mind that its immediate neighbour, which included the lower-off for Sack the Strugglers, succumbed to gravity and other forces three years ago.] It's probably a good idea to avoid this route for the time being; while the chances of being attached to the block when/if it falls are clearly small, the consequences of such an event for all involved would be horrific. | βeta? | |
