The scene of the Kinder trespass in 1932 has no access problems these days. Climbers and walkers should keep dogs under control at all times to avoid disturbing moorland birds and grazing sheep. There is occasional grouse shooting on the moors above Edale and access is not permitted during these periods.
Dates: 15 March to 30 June
Reason: Nesting Birds
A restriction is in place on Big Brother buttress and Little Brother buttress. Please avoid all routes in this section to prevent disturbance to nesting birds.
A restriction also applies to all routes in the Ampitheatre Area of Kinder Downfall (ie from The Owl Of Minerva to The Downfall Climb) to prevent disturbance to nesting birds.
Rockfax Description
The steep rift has a series of (well?) jammed blocks. A well-protected tussle with an awkward finish. © Rockfax

βeta: Enjoyed this route - several opportunities for a nice sit down on the way up and I was able to retrieve a krab that somebody had dropped down the crack of the chimney after a bit of fishing from the top with rope and gear extractor. The start looks a bit overhung and technical but there's a lovely hold on the right. | βeta? | |
