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.

The fine arete is one of the best on the sandstone. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
The obvious arete now bolted gives some good climbing. You can now lower off at the top of the arete or continue as before to the lower off of Greased Balls
