Restricted Access

1st May 2025:

There have been no sightings of peregrines or nesting this year so the voluntary ban is not currently in effect.

Voluntary climbing restriction: Birds with special legal protection sometimes nest at this location and climbing is likely to disturb them. This is a criminal offence. In order to protect the rare nesting birds and to avoid breaking the law, a voluntary access restriction has been agreed for both main tiers of the outcrop, ie. all of Upstairs and Downstairs sectors. If the peregrines are nesting, this will last from 1st April until 31st July, by which time fledglings should be able to fend for themselves. If for any reason breeding fails, the voluntary restriction will be lifted.

20m. 2nd line in from the left Downstairs - a classic at the grade (or any other). Start by zig-zagging through a series of flanges and side-pulls to ever-steeper terrain. Head for the obvious 'slot' to the left of the large, pointed, projecting block on the skyline and make some heroic moves to gain the headwall. A real cracker of a route and it ain't over till it's over!

Rab Anderson.
