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.
14m.
5b. Strenuous, from midway up Vineyards third pitch climb the RIGHT-hand end of the steep wall on large holds. Finish (crux) with a sense of urgency. This route was a popular HVS, until a key thread runner disappeared. It is still possible to drape a thin sling over a large hold near the top.
New CC guidebook mixes up the line with its harder neighbour.
