Restricted Access
The National Trust (who own the Dewerstone and surrounding land) are happy to allow climbing access but ask that abseil descent from trees is not used to prevent damage to the trees.
Seasonal Restrictions
Dates: 21 April to 30 June
Reason: Nesting Birds
Kestrels are nesting on Upper Raven Buttress - it is worth avoiding these rarely visited climbs while the birds are nesting and it is likely that the young will have fledged by the end of June.

An eliminate that climbs the steep slab, left of the corner of Armada (Pg 27). Start 3 metres left of Armada, by an overgrown, tiny, corner.

to a final bulge, and mantleshelf. Belay on the ledge, as for Armada.
2) 4c. As for Nibelung. Climb the chimney of Armada for 15’ then follow a break leftwards to reach the protruding block. Mantle onto this block, to finish as for Randy.
