Restricted Access

The woods are owned and managed for low volume timber extraction (mostly birch). The new owner (as of 2023) has no objection to climbing along the length of the edge. However, the following is expected of all visiting climbers:

  • Approach the crag via its left end using the path which runs between a wall on your left and a stream on your right.
  • Do not approach the main body of the crag directly from the footpath beneath.
  • No felling or cutting of trees without prior permission from the landowner via the BMC. Any approved work of this nature to be carried out by competent individuals only and subject to written risk assessment. 
  • The owner has no objection to the removal of holly, gorse, bramble and ivy. However, in all cases prior consent must still be sought.
  • Please leave no litter, and remove any you find.

Seasonal Restrictions

Dates: 1 March to 30 June

Reason: Nesting Birds

Tawny owls sometimes nest on the crag in the spring (previously on Kremlin Crack or Roof Route) - if present avoid the route(s) they are occupying until the nest is vacated.

Tawny owls have been known to viciously attack  people climbing near their nest, so please steer well clear of these routes until the chicks have fledged, both for the benefit of the birds and your own wellbeing.

βeta: I thought this was a hidden gem! Some nice moves. I didn't find much gear, kept wishing I had a size 1/2 friend, or an extra size 1. There were a few nuts, but always pointing the wrong way in my opinion, although I managed to oppose a couple.

βeta: Excellent route, quite deceptive from below (steeper than it looks higher up). Finshes in a tree, which is always a treat.

βeta: A good climb, nice moves and finishes in a tree, what more can you ask for? Lots of gear although it's not all perfect.

βeta: Cracking little climb on perfect rock. It's more like V.Diff though.
