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: Yeesh, need to train fingers to get the rose crux. Felt impossible with current strength. Had a play on EM and this felt way harder. 7b at least. Incredible climbing though, the movements are excellent.

βeta: The major foothold for the crux cross-through move has broken off, making the move harder. Great crimp moves throughout, enjoyable moves which I want to work and send clean.

βeta: Solid 7b in my book. Short but hard all the way.
