Restricted Access

A pair of Kestrels nest in the hole between the routes Black Wall and Inch Pinch, partial and full retrictions will be in place while the birds are sitting and feeding the young. 

Please follow any signage placed at the bottom of the face giving up to date information on the restrictions agreed with the National Trust. 

Partial restrictions will normally be in place from mid April - mid June and then a full restriction until the chicks fledge at the end of July, but this will of course depend on the birds!

Please note that all wild birds are protected while in or near a nest and it is an offence to disturb any wild bird while it is building a nest or is in or near a nest containing eggs or young.

βeta: Not sure what the broken hold was or how it helped. Exciting and slappy at the top, above the last bolt I move left off a Rh pinch to a slopey rail then slap right hand up the arete and go for the top. Hard 7a+ as the rest below is too good
