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 blind and sequency crux makes this a difficult pitch to onsight. Sustained and fingery moves lead to the fifth bolt where a deviation to the left is required. The direct line is 7b+. © Rockfax

βeta: Very upper end 7b, and direct is hard 7b+. Climb to the break, use a small edge and layaways to gain a good hold. Move off this is the crux, to gain next bolt. Swing left and finish more easily. | βeta? | |
