The woods are owned and managed for low volume timber extraction (mostly birch). The new owner (as of 2023) has no objection to climbing along the length of the edge. However, the following is expected of all visiting climbers:
Dates: 1 March to 30 June
Reason: Nesting Birds
Tawny owls sometimes nest on the crag in the spring (previously on Kremlin Crack or Roof Route) - if present avoid the route(s) they are occupying until the nest is vacated.
Tawny owls have been known to viciously attack people climbing near their nest, so please steer well clear of these routes until the chicks have fledged, both for the benefit of the birds and your own wellbeing.

βeta: I soloed this last week and the holds didn't look well travelled at all, took a few ground up attempts and viewing from adjacent routes to work out where the holds actually were!!! Easy for the atll but still pretty hard for E1 5c! E2 sounds much more likely... | βeta? | |
