Restricted Access

An SSSI and a Special Area Of Conservation, the vegetation in the gorge area is especially important. Among the rare species to be found in the area are Scarce Turf-moss, Tunbridge Filmy-fern, Deratocarpon miniatum and Rock Fingerwort. The rock face and exposures are also nationally important geological features. Vegetation clearance and modification of the rock faces is to be avoided without prior consent from Natural Resources Wales (NRW) and the clearance of trees and undergrowth has in the past has led to the real threat of access restrictions.

While NRW manage the North Side of the River, the South Side is privately owned and the land owner has stated that up to 6 local climbers may climb on the south side of the river. We ask climbers to respect this and to help improve relations by keeping the area tidy. 

Similar line followed as for The Blessing, but where The Blessing finishes up The Honey Pot, Taylor Made goes directly up from the base of the crack. The problem is hard to grade as it has two distinct methods. If you're not too tall (around 5ft 6in), you can get a lot of support from the footholds at the base of the crack alowing you to cross through the the finishing jug, but if you're tall (6ft+), then you can go LH to the finishing hold by going again and avoiding the RH cross through. Liam Fyfe also has done this problem footless from the Honey Pot start at V12!
