Restricted Access
The crag is in Range West, an Army live-firing range. Briefed climbers (with a valid permit) can access the crag year round when the range is not live (all weekends & on Bank Holidays plus some weekdays). Night firing normally occurs on Tues & Thurs but can alternate to Mon & Wed. The eastern end of the platform gets wet VERY QUICKLY once the tides is in, but the left-hand section is non-tidal. Cautionary note; This platform can become a very serious place to belay if the sea gets up.
Seasonal Restrictions
Dates: 1 March to 1 August
Reason: Nesting Birds
Nesting restriction (1st March - 1st August) includes King Prawn to Luck of the Devil inclusive. Note: The abseil hole may be used to access non-restricted climbs only but please do not loiter in the area of the hole as this will prevent birds from accessing their nest site and feeding chicks.

βeta: It looks like a load more rock has fallen out of this compared to the Wired Guides topo photo. Not climbed, so I don't know how solid the top half is now. | βeta? | |

βeta: Avoid this route at all costs as the top half consist of creaking blocks stacked one on top of the other. They move when touched and I predict they won't be there long! I moved left off the route when I realised how loose they were. Very different from when I led it in May 2017. There has clearly been rockfall. | ||
