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. 

11m.

βeta: Crux is either getting the glued on blocks above the first bolt (I managed with high left foot, right hand on side pull and Dyno for it) or finding the holds in the blank section above the flake. Nicely grippy holds, but that means slipping off them will cost some finger skin.
