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.

Rockfax Description
The 'marlin' adds a new dimension to the word protection - the old hook was once used as a piece of protection. Good climbing. © Rockfax
