UKC page and RAD both mention the boulders, so looks like both? Not been so not sure how far beneath crag Hathi is. I remember with Gouther that the Khukri boulder was OK but not the Atom Smasher one.

CH is at the same level as the ‘crag’ and less than 50m from the routes? Some of the other boulders are a fair bit lower down the hillside.
Anyhoos the UKC database says explicitly no climbing in the ghyll when the bird ban is in place. CH is int ghyll marra.

It’s a fair bit down the hill, as I remember, but, given that it’s a quiet spot, it’s probably best to assume it’s banned too, unless I learn otherwise. If other boulders at the base of crags are banned it would make sense that this one is too.

Researching whether Gouther had bird restrictions this year (looks like not) but thought I would share the list for this year:
