Seasonal Restrictions
Dates: 15 February to 15 July
Reason: Nesting Birds
Restrictions normally apply from the route "Black & Blue" to the far south side of the crag ("Freshly Dug") inclusive - all routes between and including these routes are usually restricted from Feb 15th until July 15th. Look out for marker posts on the cliff base to confirm the restrictions. All routes on the right hand side of Nemesis wall sector and all of Dawn Buttress sector are affected by this restriction.
Rockfax Description
A wild and exposed initial pitch through the overhangs.1) 5c, 25m. Gain the flake-line and move right into a corner. Follow this to the overhang and traverse strenuously right to a peg. Make a difficult move to gain the lichen-covered wall above, and then go right to a ledge and belay. 2) 5a, 12m. Move up the crack on the right of the belay to a tree. Climb rightwards into an easier groove to finish. © Rockfax
