Voluntary closure
Climbing · 15 Feb to 15 Jul
Not in force on 31 October 2026
Restrictions apply from 15 February - 15 July.
Reason: Nesting Birds
Because the crag is contained within a small "amphitheatre", the climbing restriction, due to ravens and nesting Peregrines, covers all routes on this crag. Each year we will be will be reviewing the restrictions and will lift it early if no birds nest.
Signs are also in place on the approach path.
