Crag information

Grid Reference: SD797995

The crag lies in an SSSI.  Natural England are happy for climbing to take place here provided that the following rules are respected:
1) No gardening / vegetation removal.

2) Routes should be examined carefully for evidence of nesting birds before climbing.  Do not climb a route if there appear to be birds nesting nearby and retreat if nesting birds are inadvertently encountered.  Inform Natural England if Peregrine Falcons, Ring Ouzel or Merlin are encountered in the vicinity of the crag.  You can contact Natural England via john.proctor1982@gmail.com - am happy to talk to Natural England on behalf of other climbers.

A voluntary agreement has been made, that climbing will only take place on the following sections of this crag (and neighbouring High Loven Scar):

In any case, there is little to interest climbers on the rest of the crag.
