Seasonal Restrictions

Dates: 1 March to 31 August

Reason: Nesting Birds

The quarry is leased from the Forestry Commission by Gloucester Wildlife Trust and managed as a nature reserve. Sections of the crag (usually vegetated) are not open for climbing - see p.264/5 of the Wye Valley Guide (CC 1998) for details. The crag is no longer subject to spring nesting restrictions as described in the guidebook.

30m. Excellent, bold, and strenuous, this mini classic takes the rightward-slanting crack 3 metres left of the right edged of the tower. Climb the crack past the metal spike to the ledge at two-thirds height, and finish up the wall just right of the arete.
