Restricted Access
The crag is on private land and continued access depends on climbers maintaining our good relationship with the landowner, who runs his business from the lorry park in the quarry. Be friendly if you meet the owner or his employees and make sure you follow the new access route (details below) to avoid any problems.
Seasonal Restrictions
Dates: 15 February to 31 May
Reason: Nesting Birds
2024 - no restriction - the Raven nest on Going Straight wall does not appear to be in use this year - please report if you see any activity.

βeta: A large block (30cm x 30cm x 20cm) detached from down and right from the 5th bolt. I would treat the undercuts/blocks with caution in this area. It would also be a good idea for belayers to stand off to one side. The offending block made a mess of my rope bag and amazingly missed Stevie (the dog) and I. | βeta? | |
