Access Advice

Seasonal Restrictions

Dates: 15 February to 31 May

Reason: Nesting Birds

Signed restriction for nesting raven - applies to the whole crag including the scrambles in the Cicerone Guide.

NOTE: ab station above Grand Prix - the chockstone that the 3 bits of tat were around was moving as I weighted the ab. Thankfully we had a friend in to back it up. As I abbed the chock crumbled and all that was left is about an inch square. My partner watched it crumble under load as I abbed. There is an in situ wire tied off to it. However, unless, like we did, you add your own gear to back it up and retrieve this later by leading across from the other ab station, you're currently looking at abbing on one wire! The ab station further right above Boy Racer is solid and we replaced the rope on it a few weeks ago.

Just a warning about Baby Driver - don\'t do it. The top peg is missing and it\'s a nightmare trying to pull over the top. Top Gear is in good nick, as is Running On Empty.
