Restricted Access
Calderdale Council own and manage Heptonstall Quarry and are very happy to allow access for climbing providing that only belay stakes are used as anchors above the crag (not fence posts).
It's also worth highlighting that as with any piece of in situ equipment, all belay stakes should be checked before use to ensure they are solid. If you are concerned about the condition of any of the stakes pease contact access@thebmc.co.uk with full details.

βeta: Tough (5a?) start to get established in crack, then wrist searing jams to the top. Whilst you're at it, have a go at Mainline VS 4c on the slab to the right, another good route worthy of a bit more traffic. | βeta? | |
