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 burly route that requires a determined approach. Start 6m to the left of Unicorn.
1) 5b, 12m. Boldly climb the groove and make a delicate traverse right at the top to the Unicorn belay.
2) 6a, 8m. Attack the painfully obvious roof-crack, then belay above the gorse.
3) 4c, 35m. Move up and left to a big spike on the rib - this is a junction with Gryphon. Continue up the rib as for Gryphon, moving left and right to avoid any real difficulties. © Rockfax
