This means that any deliberate or reckless damage or disturbance to the features of the site (inc. to nesting birds, vegetation clearance or drilling) could be regarded as a criminal act.
Rockfax Description
The best route of this grade in the valley and well worth the walk up. Bridge up the superbly-positioned groove with the feeling that the entire world is beneath your feet. There is a thread belay at the top. © Rockfax

βeta: The entire left hand arete is precariously balanced in a block the size of an a4 sheet of paper which is not attached at all. Only a matter of time before the entire arete disappears down the hill. Be VERY careful | βeta? | |

βeta: Not sure about the integrity of blocks on left side of groove/ tower. Try to avoid pulling or stepping on if at all possible, until nearer the top. | βeta? | |

βeta: Quite a classic really. Well situated and more technically satisfying than the standard limestone VS 4c corner crack. Don't look too closely at what is supporting the left arete, though... | βeta? | |
