Restricted Access
The crag is not mapped as open country under CRoW, something that may surprise anyone who has climbed there. It is, however, in the ownership of the National Trust and access made available by the trust. BMC is taking up the CRoW mapping issue with Natural England. Please be aware peregrine have nested at the crag. If you observe them during the Spring months, please do not disturb them during this sensitive period - give the nest site a wide berth.
Seasonal Restrictions
Dates: 1 March to 30 September
Reason: Nesting Birds
Peregrine nest in the Jezebel area.
Best advice is to avoid crag. Certainly avoid the specified routes, and those around them. But if you are there look out for behaviour including:
- Birds flying in front of the crag repeatedly with persistent calling
- Any aggressive behaviour
- Repeated bird activity in the same area
If this behaviour is observed, please withdraw as quickly as possible to avoid the chicks or eggs becoming chilled causing them to perish.
It is a criminal offense to intentionally or recklessly kill, injure or take a Peregrine.

βeta: The direct top out pulling on grass over a ledge is character building but probably best avoided... Route was 'clean' comparable to Katie Price's mansion. Overall Fantastic | βeta? | |
