Reported loose rock on Jefferson Slab

Seasonal Restrictions

Dates: 21 March to 30 June

Reason: Nesting Birds

Last Butt One Level:

Choughs are now in the broken area to the left of Uluru Magic and right of Rejoice. There is no restriction on climbing at present but please avoid this area and keep noise to a minimum. Due to an increase in roosting birds, please avoid climbing during dusk (1hour before sunset). 

Level 3:

A new pair of choughs are nesting on the left-hand side of this level. Please avoid all routes to the left of Cubism Groove

18m.

UKC Logbook Description
Climbs the well-featured slab to the right of Jack A55 Slab. A tricky start (much easier if you find the hidden foothold) leads to a well featured slab and a system of cracks leading up to the lower-off.

βeta: Chains at the top have gone, need to shuffle to the right and up to use the 6a+ arete chains now. Not ideal.
