Seasonal Restrictions

Dates: 1 February to 31 May

Reason: Nesting Birds

The restriction applies to the whole crag for nesting ravens. This site is regularly monitored and fledging often occurs here by early May so the restriction may be lifted earlier than the date mentioned above. Keep checking this page for updates.

2023 UPDATE: No nesting activity has been observed and as such the restriction has been lifted this year from 17th April

Bruise Apprentice 7 May, 2022 Show βeta
βeta: Not route beta but approach beta - if you approach the crag via the long way down to the stile and then dropping sharply down to the stream, there is a large, dead cow in the water about 20m upstream of the crossing, just above a small plunge pool. The carcass has clearly been there for some time and given its state will take a long time more to decompose. Obvs don't drink from the stream or wash hands or feet downstream of it, and you may need to self-immolate if you fall or slip in the stream while crossing it.
