The crag is off limits from September 1st to end of October each year as the farmer keeps deer there and they are very aggresive during the rutting season. PLEASE do not break this ban as access is delicate, go somewhere else instead.
IMPORTANT: Parking is limited and cars must not be parked in the "turning circle", as this is needed for long farm vehicles to negotiate the hairpin and is not a car park.
The farmer had previously cleared a parking area 50m along the rough track just opposite the gate, and it used to allow for 6-7 cars. However, this area is now partly filled with logs and boulders, so there is space for only 3-4 cars now. It is strongly advised to car share and do not park in frorn of each other unless you know each other.

βeta: Pocket at crux had a loose piece of stone so we elected to try a variation left which was harder rather than risk breaking pocket further. Pocket now Reinforced with resin (as of 2nd of June) | βeta? | |
