Reported loose rock on Jefferson Slab

Seasonal Restrictions

Dates: 21 March to 30 June

Reason: Nesting Birds

Last Butt One Level:

Choughs are now in the broken area to the left of Uluru Magic and right of Rejoice. There is no restriction on climbing at present but please avoid this area and keep noise to a minimum. Due to an increase in roosting birds, please avoid climbing during dusk (1hour before sunset). 

Level 3:

A new pair of choughs are nesting on the left-hand side of this level. Please avoid all routes to the left of Cubism Groove

30m. The groove line just right of Puzzle Groove. Climb the black wall just left of a corner and pull onto the slab below a jutting block, then follow the groove above. Continue up the steeper wall and pull left into a groove. Layback out of this into a niche, step left and climb directly the slab.

βeta: Very good route, though felt tough at 6b to onsight with no beta. Apparently line of bolts should be followed carefully but there's a couple of places where stepping right is possible and has obviously been done, given the chalked holds; these will inevitably become the norm.

βeta: Stunning route, puts you in some fun shapes, would rate it just as good as the puzzle groove next to it
