Avoid the crag after rain - the porous rock absorbs water causing holds to become brittle. The top tier bouldering normally dries fastest and is exposed to any wind going.
Dates: 1 March to 30 June
Reason: Nesting Birds
Peregrines nest left of Clashhooks Gully as you look in, please avoid all routes on Upper & Lower Central Buttresses during this period. Raven have also been sighted around the route 'The Notch' - climbers are advised to avoid this area if the birds are in residence.
Peregrine chicks were confirmed in 2022, 2023 was less clear and we're checking the situation for 2024. The site is actively monitored by local bird groups, please avoid until the agreed date of 30 June and possibly longer to give chicks chance to fledge. Peregrines are a protected species covered by criminal law.
Rockfax Description
Climb the slab to the base of the groove of Little by Little then continue steeply just to the right of the arete. The start is hard though the interest is maintained. © Rockfax

βeta: Tricky first move but easy from then on. Can link together any of the slab routes here with a climb on top wall to take you to the top of the crag (nice if you top out as last climb of day, more satisfying somehow). | βeta? | |
