Easy access but tidal. Lots of conservation interest including nesting birds and a very rare flower - the South Stack Spathulate Fleawort - a nationally rare endemic species that grows along the cliff edges. No gardening or placing of any additional belay stakes allowed anywhere on this coastline.
Dates: 1 February to 15 September
Reason: Nesting Birds
Due to nesting birds, the ban for this area has been extended. Please visit NRW page for more information Natural Resources Wales / Exclusion zone to prevent damage at protected site

βeta: Good rock, good route, a few cheeky moves over overlap is crux Good gear, as with all these routes make sure that black rock is totally dry as it can be greasy and v slippy. The crux is VS but the rest of it easier. 30m ab rope will suffice. | ||
