The old quarry situated on the western side of the crag serves as a consistent nesting ground for peregrine falcons, safeguarded by a dedicated team of Falcon Watch volunteers.

Rock climbers frequently utilize the crag, and an annual fell race is held on the crag as part of the Warton Children's Sports Day festivities.
