Seasonal Restrictions

Dates: 1 March to 1 August

Reason: Nesting Birds

05/05/2023 - Reports of the kestrel returning to nest have been received. Until this is fully verified, please refrain from climbing the routes 'Mouse Trap', 'Owl and the Antelope', and 'On Jupiter and Mars

 

 

25/05/2022 - We have now confirmed that there is a kestrel nest halfway up the "Owl and the Antelope". Please refrain from climbing routes in this area from April 15th - July 31st to allow the birds to care for their young. 

 

BMC have been advised that Barn Owls could be nesting at this crag. If so these birds have special protection under the Wildlife and Countryside Act.  Avoid climbing the routes on the Left Hand Retaining wall "Left Over" to "Half man-Half Machine"  inclusive.

 

Very tenuous and scantily clad – the first wall is effectively a solo. Start 2m right of the corner of Gold Block under a black sheet (euphemism for a waterfall after heavy rain). Step up to ledges and hand place a peg (long blade) in a small pocket at full extension. There is an obvious inset hold in the slab: climb immediately to its left with a big scary rock-up using a micro-edge and finger-tip mono. From the break above (gear) take big holds and then smaller ones boldly to the left-most diagonal crack. Follow the crack (gear again) to the big grass ledge under Elastic Retreat.
