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.

Rockfax Description
Sustained moves up a groove, past a bulge and over a small overlap gain the break of Diagonal Direct. Finish up the wall on good but widely spaced holds to a lower-off on the right.

UKC Logbook Description
A good line. Take the strangely strenuous shallow groove (of the original D’Action Direct) pulling left at the top to gain the big spike on Diagonal.Stand on the large spike but then climb the wall direct between Police Brutality and Diagonal Direct, long reaches between good holds. Step right to the belay of DD.
