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.
Reason: Nesting Birds
7 May 2024: two jackdaw nests reported in Forked Lightning Crack, please avoid this and nearby routes.

βeta: Under rated! If you’re struggling with the beefier, longer climbs in the main quarry, get over here and pull yourself up the ramp! You’ll wish it was longer. If you’re a new HVS leader you’ll appreciate the nice holds but maybe not so much the slightly run-out finish to the route. You’ll be a’ight though! | ||
