Restricted Access

An SSSI and a Special Area Of Conservation, the vegetation in the gorge area is especially important. Among the rare species to be found in the area are Scarce Turf-moss, Tunbridge Filmy-fern, Deratocarpon miniatum and Rock Fingerwort. The rock face and exposures are also nationally important geological features. Vegetation clearance and modification of the rock faces is to be avoided without prior consent from Natural Resources Wales (NRW) and the clearance of trees and undergrowth has in the past has led to the real threat of access restrictions.

While NRW manage the North Side of the River, the South Side is privately owned and the land owner has stated that up to 6 local climbers may climb on the south side of the river. We ask climbers to respect this and to help improve relations by keeping the area tidy.

UKC Logbook Description
A little monster. Take the faint rib forming the arete of the wall on huge, unhelpful slopers. Almost replaces Herman Munster (A.Sharp, T.Benjamin, A.Brown 1983), that pulled up the wall to the right and now has a dangerously loose block.

Gary Gibson 27/May/1995.
