Access Issue: Closed for raptor breeding Details

Generally closed from 15 Jan to 31 July, but check online or ask in climbing shops if it's close to either of these dates to see if climbing has now become allowed.

Description

Classic route! The climbing doesn't get much better than this. Climb up through the first two bolts (crux) to get to the ledge and shake out. Continue up and left through the undercling roof, then head right and up and keep going straight up to the top. There are a few tricky and reachy parts in between, but just keep cool and use the rests you can find along the way and don't give up.
