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 first part could easily be cleaned by stick clipping the first few bolts. Easily done rather than just moaning about it.

βeta: Brilliant and dry! Steep start to good rest before tackling the second roof and crimps to finish. A loose spike on the left of the second roof, which you don’t need, but may be tempted to grab. Stick to the featured weakness through the roof.
