Permission is no longer required to climb here. However, access still relies on a permissive agreement for passage through the grazing land. Please use the stiles and ensure all gates are closed.
There is a permanent dog ban in place under CRoW at the crag and the surrounding land.
Dates: 20 April to 20 June
Reason: Nesting Birds
Kestrels regularly nest on Eastby Buttress - if the birds are present avoid routes on this buttress until the young have fledged (usually by the end of June).
Rockfax Description
18m. Good friction climbing. Start up the shrubby groove then shuffle out right to the centre of the hanging slab. Head up this with the final section proving quite testing on rubber and nerve. © Rockfax
