Does anyone know of the bird ban has been lifted early or whether it's still in force?

If it has been lifted, is anyone able to comment on how hard Yellow Wall is for the grade (the guide makes something of a play that these are not Pembroke grades, which is all well and good, but doesn't tell me how hard an E3 it is, just what it isn't) and how much of a faff failure on it would be?

Did this in the last couple of years and previously twenty years ago. Have led both pitches. First pitch expect great rock, reachy big pulls n delicate crimps to the corner groove then a pumpy sequence but bridgeable up it to the ledge; all steep and though provoking but in balance and do able. Mostly safe climbing to good gear all the way with a little bit of nerve test. P2- thin delicate crack. Will take plenty of small/very small wires if your a slow cat who likes safety you'll hang in there to place it. Overall a journey of amazing varied climbing in well overhanging terrain but achievable with a few rests. Go for it. The thought of an incoming tide will commit you to getting up. Oh carry a big a mini big Bertha cam, range of all cams,  doubles and a half of wires some bigs and n's 1's,2,s n smaller for p2 crack for complete re assurance. Hope that's a fair comment. And some mid long slings -theres threads too. I like heavy weigh climbing when its an adventure route! commit or Leave a cheeky ab rope nearby when you ab in to avoid faff of failure.
