UKH Hills - 'The Love of Money is the Root of All Evil'

Access Banned

In June 2022 signage was installed by the landowner indicating that they do not wish crags on the west side of the dale (Griff's, Black & Deckout, etc.) to be climbed on.

Negotiations to secure access have failed to reach a positive outcome. As such climbers should be aware that the owner does not permit access to west/lower Blackwell Dale. Any climber choosing to visit therfore does so against the wishes of the landowner and should politely leave without complaint if asked to do so.

UKC Logbook Description
8b, but originally graded 8a. Rumour has it that Patta only graded it 8a to piss off another climber who's project it was, who thought it was 8b. It was climbed without several chipped holds that were later filled in. The name is a reference to the climbers that were hired to evict tree protesters when the Newbury bypass was being built.

Richard Patterson (climbed without the 2 chipped holds which have since been filled in) 17/Jun/1998.
