UKC

Restricted Access

A great traditional crag with some extremely popular routes such as Creagh Dhu Wall, Tensor and Pellagra.

From March to July there has been Owls and Jackdaws spotted nesting on some of the routes, please check your routes before setting of. 

Seasonal Restrictions

Dates: 1 March to 31 July

Reason: Nesting Birds

Tawny owls nest on the first pitch of Creagh Dhu Wall (shared with One step in the Crowds). It's also worth noting that Tawny owls can be exceptionally aggressive in defending their nests and there are known cases of serious eye injuries caused to people who venture too close to Tawny owl nests!

 April 2024 - Jackdaws nesting on the first pitch of Mensor, please avoid this area until they have left.

βeta: If p2 is climbed as described in the CC guide it is at least 5b - because that\'s the grade of the top pitch of One Step in the Crowds, and the hardest moves on that are shared with Salix.
