Restricted Access
Langcliffe is regularly patrolled by YDNPA wardens and conservation volunteers. The quarry area is also designated as a Scheduled Monument under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 and English Heritage consider that any further drilling to place bolts may constitute a criminal offence unless consent is gained via them from the Secretary of State.
Skyline Buttress is in private ownership and no formal access agreement is in place. Negotiations have failed to resolve the issue with the landowner of this buttress, who has occasionally asked climbers to leave.
Seasonal Restrictions

Climb the groove right of Diagonal Direct to join it at the horizontal break. Make some perplexing moves to reach a left-facing flake and finish at a lower-off up and to the left. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
The steep yellowish groove right of Diagonal Direct (Criminal Activity) is short but quite sustained. Above this move around right, as for Diagonal, then pull up to stand on the large spike. The next few moves to gain the hanging flake are quite technical. Follow the flake stepping left to the lower-off. Easier if started up the Diagonal (F7a) and still good.
