Restricted Access

There is a loose flake on pitch 6 of Giant's Crawl near the belay - extreme care is needed.

Seasonal Restrictions

Dates: 1 March to 30 June

Reason: Nesting Birds

Peregrines have been known to nest on the upper section of B Buttress, above Giants Crawl as well as C Buttress. The last time the birds were known to nest was 2014, but if visiting the crag early in the season please be aware that they could return and report to the BMC if birds are seen nesting.

250m. The FRCC Journal of 1956 has the following in the obituary of TC Ormiston Chant:
"Dorothey Pilley and I will never forget Ormiston Chant's astonishing lead of "C" Buttress on Dow when it was a solid mass of ice, about half of the climb being made in pitch darkness"
No date given, but most likely in the 1920's or 30's.
