Seasonal Restrictions

Dates: 15 February to 31 May

Reason: Nesting Birds

2023 26th February update: The Ravens do not appear to be using the existing nest in Gardoms Unconquerable - however one more check will be made in case they are late starting, so please be observant and report any sightings if you are in the area.

In recent years a Tawny Owl has nested in the Layback Crack/Flake Crack.area - it is not known if they are present in 2023 but please keep your eyes and ears out if climbing in this area.

βeta: I got 2 small cams in the pocket and crack right of the layback at the top. The bottom slab's a doddle, albeit the edges are a bit rounded.

βeta: Beautiful little gem, nice moves between well spaced holds, but the first protection (only, besides the flake, but its mostly over by then) is after the crux(es) on the slab
