Please follow any signage placed at the bottom of the face giving up to date information on the restrictions agreed with the National Trust.
Partial restrictions will normally be in place from mid April - mid June and then a full restriction until the chicks fledge at the end of July, but this will of course depend on the birds!

A well established pair of Kestrels nest in a hole between Black Wall and Inch Pinch.
A partial restriction is in place on the routes either side of the nest from April 15th (subject to change - see local signage) to allow the birds to sit peacefully on thier eggs.
A full restriction is in place on all routes on Trial Wall from June 15th - July 31st (subject to change - see local signage) to allow the birds to feed their young without disruption.
Any restriction will be lifted once the young have fledged.

UKC Logbook Description
Climb the fingery wall at the right-hand end of the overlap for a few moves, then stretch left to the obvious side hold in the roof. Pull over rightwards to a good rest. Move up then left along a thin break to the centre of the wall. Use a mono to stretch to the next break (good pocket on the left). Technical moves then lead to a good hold (crux). Swing right to a 'ledge' then one hard move up and left reaches jugs and an easier finish. Given 7b+ in original guides; some later versions have upgraded to 7c.
