The site is managed by Shropshire and Montgomery Wildlife Trusts and managed as a nature reserve. Please pay attention to the following: - Climbing is not allowed in the Northern Quarry or on Asterley Rocks. Organised groups wishing to use 'Cul de Sac' quarry - please contact the Red Ridge Centre first to avoid overcrowding. Tel (01938) 810821. The development of additional new routes may jeopardise the existing access arrangements - please contact the BMC for futher details.
There is an agreement between Shropshire Wildlife Trust, Montgomery Wildlife Trust and the British Mountaineering Council to allow individual recreational climbers and club members to rock climb on the rocks at Llanymynech. Nothing in the agreement is legally binding; however failure by climbers to follow these guidelines could lead to a permanent restriction on climbing at the whole site.The Wildlife Trusts welcomes visitors onto the nature reserve to explore and enjoy at close hand the spectacle of the cliffs and the wildlife this area supports.
Dates: 1 March to 30 June
Reason: Nesting Birds
Keep an eye open for signs detailing the nesting restriction in the Red Wall area. Currently all routes on Foreigner Wall are permanently restricted. Seasonal Restrictions apply to all routes on Red Walls from 1 March to 30 June.
Rockfax Description
Start up the broken lower wall and open corner that accesses the vegetated ledges under the upper wall. Climb the upper wall just to the right of the vegetated corner - the best bit of the climb. © Rockfax

βeta: Chossy ledge so make sure your belayer wears a helmet. Some of the bolts were rusty and one hanger was a bit loose. As others have mentioned, the first clip above the ledge is committing. Prepare for 2 or 3 metres of easy downclimbing with a 70m rope, even with rope stretch. | βeta? | |

βeta: This route has some good climbing and a definte crux on the upper wall. Some climbing and a bit of a reach is required before clipping the 1st bolt above the ledge, it feels a little committing! A long sling around the tree or some other pro at the top of the vegetation may be a good idea, especially for the short. | βeta? | |
