The coast has unfortunately been used as a suicide spot and loose kit, clothing etc. lying around has resulted in the coastguard being called out. To avoid this, climbers are requested to ensure loose equipment and clothing is kept in rucksacks on the cliff top and preferably hidden from public view. You could also consider attaching a note to your sacks saying something like, 'Equipment being used by climbers - do not remove'.
Dates: 1 March to 31 July
Reason: Nesting Birds
No climbing between The Tool and Marmolata Arete inclusive to prevent disturbance of nesting birds. If using the Marmolata abseil point, please stay in the corner, spend as little time on top as possible and don't bring dogs to the top of the crag. Restrictions also apply from Sardine Special to Hard Day's Night, Andycap to Raindrop and Quasimodo to Insectitude inclusive.
Rockfax Description
A good technical first pitch.
1) 6a, 12m. Climb a thin crack, just right of a slight buttress, to the faultline and a belay on the left.
2) 5b, 20m. Pull over a roof - tough - and move into a niche in the next roof. Continue direct up an easy crack to the top. © Rockfax

βeta: nice 1st pitch, reasonable gear which can be placed before tackling the crux but strenuous to place any once you've started the crux sequence to the break. the line of the second pitch was not at all clear to me so just escaped up the line of least resistance. | βeta? | |
