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
Rockfax Description
A good pitch that packs in lots of fine moves. Pull out right above the overhang on hidden holds and continue past another roof to reach a break. Swing left to the arete and finish up the final wall past some side-pulls. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
Climbs the left arete of Crawl Buttress.
Pull over the initial roof on a good hidden hold then move up and right to a stretch over the next roof to a good hold. A powerful pull brings a small crimp into reach, then the break. Traverse left around the arete and a couple of layaways lead to jugs and the belay
