Dates: 1 March to 30 June
Reason: Nesting Birds
There are no applied bird restriction along the Wallsend cliff at present, (2022) However due to it's more isolated nature and available nesting ledges, it is often populated with breeding pairs of seabird through the season. As well as a Ravens nest in the Bigger Peace area.
Be sensible and avoid any routes close to nesting birds and advise others of nests, to leave them in peace. They will all be gone by mid July.

βeta: The worst route I have ever done. Firstly you have to climb past the first bolt to clip it. This wouldn’t be so bad if the start wasn’t snappy and dirty and situated above a 30 foot drop into the bottom of a gully. Secondly (if you survive the start) the route continues on more dirty and snappy rock (with a couple of worrying clips) to a dusty mid height ledge. Finally, two or maybe three good moves on solid rock lead to the base of the flowstone which is itself not that nice and in fact a little snappy. | βeta? | |
