Restricted Access
Please be aware there is a new owner of the site, its likely in the near future that some changes could take place. We are hoping that access to climbing will still be possible, but might be more complicated. If there are any issues please contact BMC Cymru.
Litter and broken glass can be a problem - please remove any that you see.
Although not subject to any restrictions - jackdaws nest on some routes, notably Flowstone Shuffle Wall (sometimes on the route Aphelion) and can be quite aggressive! Please avoid any routes where they appear to nest until the end of June/mid July.
Rockfax Description
A decent pitch that improves as height is gained. Climb past a blocky ledge and continue up the wall above. © Rockfax

βeta: Attacked by a crow today warming up on this. Honestly it wasn’t that bad just a light scratching to the back, but maybe avoid (for a few months?) if you’re scared of birds | βeta? | |

βeta: Birds nests with eggs in the cracks/flakes just to the left of the climb, maybe best to avoid for now. | βeta? | |
