Saw a kestrel flying about 50-100m West of the crag as we were abbing off today (26th April 2025).  No visible sign of a nest anywhere near the climbing but might be worth giving it a wide berth for a few weeks, they're  normally done nesting by end of May.  -  Malcolm Airey

52m, 2 pitches. A fantastic excursion up the face.
Pitch 1 5b: Climb up the cracks of Bushy Craic and up to the end of the left facing corner to a stance just below the sport belay.
Pitch 2 4b: Traverse left along the ledge and head straight up the vertical crack. Then follow a series of diagonal cracks to zigzag up the face. After the last groove make a rising traverse leftward to top out.
** There a bolts on a fair bit of this route; the first pitch follows Bushy Craic and the second meanders amongst the two top sport routes.

βeta: Pitch two is a small traverse right on the ledge not left and basically climbs directly between the two left most bolted lines, finishing at the anchor on the right at the end
