Restricted Access
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.

βeta: The big loose block is now safely on the floor and didn't require much encouragement. The cracked block seems solid but requires care. | βeta? | |

βeta: Rockfax description wrong. It's actually describing a combo of Generation and easier variant on Mr Farady. The route was an old trad line now superceeded by bolted variants. | βeta? | |
