Restricted Access
A review of the previous access agreement with Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust (GWT) has now taken place and the climbable area has been extended,
This extension is only possible due to climbers following the agreed access since 2018 and demonstrating that we are a responsible user group. Needless to say maintaining this extended access depends on future adherence to the below climber's code of conduct too:
- All routes left of It’s A Sin on the lower tier and the whole of the upper tier on Main Cliff are permanently restricted to provide a sanctuary area within the reserve.
- Peregrines have nested on the crag in the past and nesting restrictions may apply
- Only use existing paths to prevent damage to sensitive habitat
- No removal of trees or branches on the crag or elsewhere within the reserve
- Take your litter home and pick up any you find at the crag
- No fires, camping or bivvying anywhere on the GWT’s land
- No further new routing

Begin left of the arete and head up a groove until moves rightward from a pinch flake gain a break. Stretch up the final groove to finish. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
Start just left of the left arete of the crawl wall.
Climb the groove to a big pinch flake, then make a hard pull rightwards onto the wall to gain good holds, then the break. The groove in the upper wall is reachy

βeta: The bolt just before the big break seems to get carabiners badly jammed very very easily. Don’t know if there’s anything that can be done about it but worth keeping in mind if you think you will fall on that bolt | βeta? | |
