Restricted Access

Fly Wall and Woodcroft Quarry: the current owners have not given permission to climb on this section of crag. If you do climb on this part of the crag, please be careful not to damage any fences in the area.

GO Wall: topping out now allowed year round for all routes from Feline/Jackal leftwards. King Kong ab. bolts removed. No topping out any time for right hand end – ab. stations in place where required. A large rockfall has recently (Jan 2013) been reported at the righthand side of the Pedestal on Go Wall - care should be taken with any remaining loose rock that may still be in place in this area.

North Wall: following a change of ownership of the house above this section of crag, the previous arrangement to exit through it’s garden is not longer possible. Please do not top out on any North Wall routes - only abseil descent from below the top of the crag is allowed. For those who don't wan't to climb above the Great Ledge, an abseil descent can be made from one of the two bolted abseil stations above The Tap or Joe’s Route. Two further abseil stations have been established just below the top of North Wall (using rope slings and rings around trees) allowing the last pitch of the more popular routes to be climbed and an abseil descent to the Great Ledge be made. 

All rock north of the North Buttress and south of Fly Wall is privately owned and all climbing is prohibited.

Seasonal Restrictions

Dates: 1 March to 15 June

Reason: Nesting Birds

Ravens nesting on Wurlitzer. The restriction applies to all routes on Fly Wall between Flypast and Gendarmerie.

Peregrins nesting on North Wall. Avoid top pithes of left hand route (from the great ledge)

10m. Start at the bolt and thread belay on the left side of the alcove as for Thrillennium. The climb takes the bulging wall to the left of Thrillennium.

Undercut steeply left past the first roof (peg). Move up to the hole, a second peg and an an in-situ thread. Now undercut up to a sidepull a small pocket and a peg (crux). Make finishing moves up the wall past a final peg with a little help from the left arete. When you abseil in it is advisable to give the top holds a brush, the route is prone to seepage but it does get the sun.

Route was cleaned on abseil and equipped with pegs and thread. I also pre placed the quickdraws on the pegs and thread as I have been suffering with tendinitis recently and wanted to give myself more of a chance. Unfortunately I had to take a point of aid on the crux. I then pulled the ropes and Adam Haward lead climbed the route clean with no rests. (I managed to slip over on the approach to the silver birch abseil and now have a gash in my buttock which needs hospital attention, be careful here).
