The National Trust (who own the Dewerstone and surrounding land) are happy to allow climbing access but ask that abseil descent from trees is not used to prevent damage to the trees.
Dates: 21 April to 30 June
Reason: Nesting Birds
Kestrels are nesting on Upper Raven Buttress - it is worth avoiding these rarely visited climbs while the birds are nesting and it is likely that the young will have fledged by the end of June.
Rockfax Description
A fine technical pitch that can be well-protected. Worth seeking out. Climb the ramp and corner to below the upper overhang. Some tough moves past the overhang gain easier climbing and the top. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
Climb the slabby ramp using the blind crack in the corner for holds and gear (micro wires and very small cam) until it is possible to make an awkward move to good holds. Step up to a good small ledge below the roof, arrange good protection and then climb the crack on the left of the roof until a hard move right gains the sloping ledge above the roof. Finish easily. Tree belays well back.
1977.
