Restricted Access
All of the Wallsend crags face west so catch the afternoon sun well. Wallsend South is closer to the sea and can suffer from soapy rock on still and humid days, whereas Wallsend North is set back a little and is less affected by greasyness. The Colors Area and Hong Kon Phooey Area are cut off at high tides or in rough seas.Seasonal Restrictions
Dates: 1 March to 30 June
Reason: Nesting Birds
There are no applied bird restriction along the Wallsend cliff at present, (2022) However due to it's more isolated nature and available nesting ledges, it is often populated with breeding pairs of seabird through the season. As well as a Ravens nest in the Bigger Peace area.
Be sensible and avoid any routes close to nesting birds and advise others of nests, to leave them in peace. They will all be gone by mid July.

βeta: Large foothold broke off at 4/5 bolt just as you go into the balancey corner section. Probably likely to crumble some more. | βeta? | |

βeta: for the record this whole area was subject to about a weeks cleaning prior to the bolts going in, the following winter a mud slide engulfed the routes, attempts were made to escavate the routes but it was fealt it was best to let nature and time be the final judge, don't expect too much and please don't be too critical no-one can turn back the tide, (except maybe Pete ;-)) | βeta? | |

βeta: There's nothing wrong with the rock. It's actually really nice. It's just covered in mud. It's not a bad route when clean. | βeta? | |
