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
Satisfying climbing that weaves up the left edge of the wall. Start at a step in the rock platform. Much of the protection is from threads that are best checked prior to an ascent.
1) 5c, 22m. Climb onto the left wall of the arete (thread) and continue (thread) to a shallow groove. Step right and up the left side of the arete (thread) to a belay on the faultline (thread).
2) 5b, 24m. Pass the overhang above on the right (peg) to join Barracuda to finish. © Rockfax

βeta: Good route, best to do it in one pitch to avoid dodgy pegs in fault. Felt harder than Barracuda, but could have been a Sunday (work it out). | βeta? | |
