Restricted Access
The National Trust (who own the Dewerstone and surrounding land) are happy to allow climbing access but ask that abseil descent from trees is not used to prevent damage to the trees.
Seasonal Restrictions
Dates: 21 April to 30 June
Reason: Nesting Birds
Kestrels are nesting on Upper Raven Buttress - it is worth avoiding these rarely visited climbs while the birds are nesting and it is likely that the young will have fledged by the end of June.
Rockfax Description
Attention-grabbing climbing up the left side of the slab via some boldish moves and a final crux at the top that can be protected. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
keep to the left edge of the slab, praying that your gear sticks, before pulling over the bulge at the top.

βeta: The top out is certainly harder but the lower section is no walk and fairly unprotectable when done direct. The easier line wanders and goes at a lower grade. | βeta? | |
