Restricted Access
Abseil from the top of Brazen Butress.
This crag is not in the MoD range. There are some bird nests in the Chimney area ( behind Brazen Buttress) but climbing is unrestricted at present as long as climbers minimise disturbance - i.e. don't hang around any longer than necessary where birds are flying in and out of the area. Bird nesting can vary a lot here from year to year - please do a visual check before starting your route, particularly around 'The Cracks' to 'Star Gate' area. A sign will be placed above Brazen Buttress if there is a seasonal restriction in place and this website will be updated.

Rockfax Description
An eliminate with some good climbing. Start as for Herod but move onto the wall on the left until forced back into Herod - all a bit pointless, but now things improve. Step left from the top of the crack and climb the wall and cracks direct to the top. © Rockfax
