October 2019 rockfall-reported. A significant rockfall affecting pitch 2 of the route Creeping Lemma (i.e  almosty certainly all in the sea by now) and possibly also affecting the uber-classic route, The Moon and the other routes in the central section of this cliff.  Further significant loose rock remains....

Group Advice

Not suitable!

Area information

Gogarth's seacliffs contain some of the most important breeding seabird colonies in Europe. It is important climbers continue contributing towards their protection by observing the negotiated nesting restrictions which apply to a number of cliffs. Most of the area is managed by the RSPB as an internationally important bird reserve and the arrangements here are often cited as best exemplars of how climbing and conservation can co-exist. PLEASE REFER TO THE INDIVIDUAL CRAG ENTRIES ON THIS DATABASE FOR FULL DETAILS. The range of cliffs include Gogarth Bay, South Stack, The Range as well as other outlying crags along the Anglesey coast.
