In order to protect nesting peregrines an agreement has been reached to restrict climbing and bouldering until further notice on part of the Upper Tier at the Roaches.
The agreement was made between the BMC, the Peak National Park (PDNPA), Natural England and the RSPB, and comes into immediate effect.
The restriction applies to climbing between Libra (Route No. 32) and Easy Gully Wall (Route No. 75), and includes all the bouldering in the Sloth arena. Notices will be placed on site. All route references relate to the BMC Staffordshire Grit / The Roaches guidebook (2004).
The reaction of the birds will be monitored by the PDNPA and the BMC on a regular basis and if it proves possible to ease the bouldering restriction then this will be published on the BMC Regional Access Database and with notices on site.
