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 pleasant route and a good tick for any VS leader. Start as for Unicorn on the left-hand side of the crag.
1) 4b, 15m. Unicorn P1.
2) 4c, 24m. Move right onto a black slab, continue diagonally right to an overlap/break. Keep going up and right to a large fissure and climb this past a chockstone until a swing right on the wall leads to a stance.
3) 4a, 26m. Climb the slab on the right, pass a short chimney, and continue on to Crackstone Rib.
4) 4a, 18m. Step right and climb up to a tree and junction with Ribstone Crack. Follow a large flake as for Ribstone Crack. © Rockfax

βeta: The large wobbly spike of rock, (at the mid point where 3 routes cross), has either fallen or been removed. I hope no one was hurt. Technically this makes the route slightly harder, although i avoided using it last time, anyway. I did pitch 1 and 2, VS 5a, with ground fall potential on first pitch. | βeta? | |

βeta: The first pitch is bold, with ground fall potential. Not sure why this isn't indicated in the guide book. | ||
