Dates: 1 June to 31 July
Reason: Nesting Birds
It has been reported that either Peregrines or Kesterels are nesting on the popular route Shadow Wall on Carreg Wastad, with eggs and one unfledged chick on the nest.
As these birds and their nests are legally protected, climbers are asked to avoid climbing the routes Shadow Wall to Trilon inclusive until the birds have fledged at the end of July.
Rockfax Description
A nice route. The top pitch is often mistaken for Skylon. Start just left of the dark cave.
1) 5a, 18m. Climb up a sloping ledge then head boldly right above the dark cave. Climb direct to the right-hand end of the ledge and a shared belay.
2) 4c, 19m. Ascend the crack on the left to a sloping ledge. From its left-hand end, place gear then make hard moves up the wall. Go up and left boldly to the large pinnacle belay on Skylon.
3) 4c, 24m. Climb the crack from the right side of the pinnacle to a quartz ledge below a bulge. Arrange poor gear here then make committing moves on good holds through the bulge. Continue on more easily to the terrace and belay. © Rockfax
