Dates: 28 April to 30 June
Reason: Nesting Birds
2023 update: There are Kestrels nesting in Cascara Crack again this year. The restriction applies to Cascara Crack to SAE inclusive.
For Pulpit Groove and Suspense/etc please either top out or belay back in the trees away from the edge of the ledge to help avoid disturbing the birds.
Rockfax Description
An interesting and exposed expedition in three ptiches. Climb the short slippery crack (crux) to gain the base of the ramp and follow this to a sitting stance on the Pulpit. Stride across the gap and follow the exposed ramp to a large ledge and tree belay. Finish out to the right for some rather nice exposure. © Rockfax

βeta: Great opportunity for a triple backflip into the pool from the shelf belay stance. You may have to wait your turn though. | βeta? | |

βeta: As a beginners route this was great. My daughter loved it, particularly the "step across space" from the pulpit. As her first 'real' climb outside she'll remmeber this one for a while. | βeta? | |

βeta: Climbed this in the damp; a little unpleasant. Felt like it would have been lovely in the dry though. Not much to belay off at the very top, mind... | βeta? | |

βeta: Sand & insects not a problem earlier today. Friends 3 & 4 v. useful at Pulpit belay, in order to avoid attaching to loose stuff. Worth doing for the big step across the corner. | βeta? | |

βeta: Excellent first pitch, second pitch a sandy (exposed) walk, third pitch artifical, ie you could go up anywhere. Not a 3 star route by any stretch of the imagination. | βeta? | |
