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.
Rockfax Description
The fine stepped-groove in the north face of the buttress leads to a short crack and mini-summit. Polished and popular but still a very good tick with excellent protection. © Rockfax
