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.

UKC Logbook Description
A blind route that is flashed with ease if the hard-to-spot two-finger hold at the top is found. Jump up to the triangular sentry box and climb this to a slot out left. Make a long reach up for a two-finger edge, then fall back right for a jug from whence the BB can be clipped.

βeta: Start as for honey pot, jug near 2nd bolt required me to flip it into an undercut (span meant I had to use the worse undercut right of the column) followed by a big move into the triangular finger crimp. | ||
