Endangered Yellow Wagtails are currently nesting on Butt Hole Scoundrels - Fr. 6b+ (Line 3 on SWCW). Please avoid climbing in the Scoundrels Cave area until the end of September, and keep an eye out for others until then. 

They migrate from Africa to the UK around March till September, so will hopefully be on their way by October.

18m.

The corner crack is a decent line now that a massive flake has been removed. Jamming ability will be an asset. © Rockfax

βeta: If you are from Lancashire with a chip on your shoulder and like to gob off it can be done with trad gear but don't forget to sound off about it.

βeta: Some very loose rock on the entire line, plus a *very dodgy* flake just before the anchor. Be extra careful.

βeta: Bolting a crack like this makes no sense whatsoever, trad and sport can happily coexist.
