Restrictions at Sillvermine Main Crag.

SANParks would like everyone to be aware that there is a pair of Rock
Kestrels nesting at the Main Crag. They have placed marker signs up at
the venue, but there may be some confusion about them. I've suggested
how Parks can improve their signage to make it less ambiguous.

To avoid confusion here are the specifics of where you can climb.
Fortunately, they've agreed that the whole crag doesn't need to be
closed (in the past, they would do that). All routes between Sterling
Silver and Mercury should not be climbed, as they are too close to the
nest. Please respect this temporary situation and give the birds a
chance to nest in peace. They have two chicks at the moment, which
should fledge in a few weeks time. The signage will let you know when it
is ok to climb those routes again.

Thanks okes
