Restricted Access
Currently access can only be gained with permission of the landowner, Patrick Walker via email. Mr Walker owns the farm land and buildings below the left hand side of the cliff and the left wing of the crag. Other landowners own the various parcels of land below Central Wall and the Right Wing and the majority of the cliff face and are happy for climbing to continue but so far, the only agreed access route from the road is via Mr Walker's Land.
Seasonal Restrictions
Dates: 1 February to 31 July
Reason: Nesting Birds
The restriction applies to the whole crag for both peregrine and raven. The birds on this cliff are more sensitive to disturbance than at other sites such as Malham Cove.
Rockfax Description
A mammoth undertaking along the upper intermittent break. 1) 6a, 25m. Climb Bolt from the Blue to the peg under the roof at the top of the left-facing groove on its second pitch. Belay. 2) 6b, 25m. Traverse rightwards to Priapism and descend this until it is possible to access Central Wall at a spike. Climb up, right and then up again to the threads on Barracuda. Sustained climbing leads to a hanging-belay on Death Wish. 3) 6c, 20m. Move along to The Great White from which difficult climbing gains a good pocket - good wire in next pocket - difficult to place. Move down, then across and back up Blue Water, White Death. Continue to a belay on a peg and thread. 4) 6b, 30m. More traversing leads to the tree on Blue Afternoon. © Rockfax
