Restricted Access
Seasonal Restrictions
Dates: 1 March to 31 July
Reason: Nesting Birds
The annual nesting restriction covers the whole crag. Several protected species nest both on the crag and directly on the crag above the descent gully, and the whole crag is restricted between the above dates. Keep an eye/ear open for the birds and for signs on the approach. If the birds fledge early or fail to nest then the signs will be removed.
The routes on the left hand side that are approached by abseil (Opal Moon) are also restricted due to nesting sea-birds and the restriction applies here even if restrictions are lifted for the remainder of the crag.
Rockfax Description
An immaculate climb taking the central challenge of the crag. Start at the foot of the grey pillar in the centre of the face. Climb the left-hand side of the pillar to a big thread. Continue to a roof and pull over leftwards. Move right to a line of pockets and follow these to the belay of Appian Way. © Rockfax
