The restriction covers all routes between and including "Seal's Song" and "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" as far as "Skippy" and the traverse line "Route 66", due to a large sea bird (Guillemots) colony.  The restriction includes the classic Flytrp route...

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.

Went to climb ‘a dream of white horses’. Obvious rope around block at abseil point. Worth walking down to promontary to view whole of route before hand. Brown streaks of rock looked wet but weren’t.
