Many of the areas covered in this guide
are in delicate natural environments.
There have already been problems at
some of the cliffs created by thoughtless
actions of a few. It is up to all of us to
show due respect, help to maintain
access to the areas, observe any posted
restrictions, park sensibly and keep
the places tidy so that these fine areas
remain available to climbers for many
years to come.

Two of the crags covered, Agujas
Rojas and Salinas, have a climbing
restriction due to nesting birds from 1
January to 31 June but these sometimes
appear on other crags as well. Keep and
eye out for any signs at the crags.
Remember, the inclusion of a crag in
this book doesn't mean you have a right
to climb there. Land ownership and
access permission can change so please
respect any signs and check the Rockfax

Climbers’ Code
Park considerately -
don't block access,
and be prepared to climb elsewhere if
there's nowhere to park.
Stick to the approach paths -
avoid short-cuts, especially across someone's private land. If
there are signs, read them and follow any instructions.
Keep the noise down at the crag -
crags are often in areas popular with walkers who are
keen to get away from all that. This is a significant issue at the Wildside, Sella.
Take your rubbish home with you -
better still, make space for less considerate souls'
rubbish, and remember that anything left at the crag is 'rubbish'. As an example orange peel
takes around two years to decompose, and looks a mess while it does so!
Access restricted - a sign at Sella. Interestingly the building up the track
is now owned by the Orange House so access will change, although it is
unlikely you will be able to drive your car up here. Photo: Chris Craggs

Guidebook Footnote
The inclusion of a climbing area in this guidebook does not mean that you have a right of access or the right to climb
upon it. The descriptions of routes, bolts and other forms of fixed gear within this guide are recorded for historical
reasons only and no reliance should placed on the accuracy of the descriptions of the nature and position of bolts and
other fixed gear. The grades set in this guide are a fair assessment of the difficulty of the climbs. Climbers who attempt
a route of a particular standard should use their own judgment as to whether they are proficient enough to tackle that
route. This book is not a substitute for experience and proper judgment. The authors, publisher and distributors of this
book do not recognise any liability for injury or damage caused to, or by, climbers, third parties, or property arising from
such persons seeking reliance on this guidebook as an assurance for their own safety.
