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.
2024 UPDATE: No ravens activity this year by mid April, as such the restriction has been lifted early - from 16th April.
Rockfax Description
A tight eliminate up the narrow wall avoiding the use of either the left or right edge. Phil McCavity 6b is a variation that takes the wall but uses the right edge. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
The original E3 5c trad description describes climbing the centre of the black pillar via dubious flakes to a peg runner in the break. A better description now is to climb the pillar via undercuts on the right but avoid any contact with the right edge.
