Restricted Access
The BMC has an agreement with the National Trust for fixed equipment in the dale. Put simply this is that like for like maintenance/replacement can take place as and when is needed but placement of new bolts would require agreement through the Peak Area meeting followed by approaching the National Trust for permission. There isn't a presumption of refusal by any means, but the National Trust understandably want to keep track of bolting activity in the Dale and in some cases they may need to apply for SSSI consent as landowner. The National Trust are extremely supportive of climbing in all it's forms in the Dale and it's important that we continue to cultivate our good relationship with them to ensure our needs as climbers are considered into the future.

βeta: Currently a Peregrine? I think nesting in the niche just left of the route. Saw some eggs, best to avoid silicon area for a bit. (Only south gully buttress listed as bird banned in RAD) | βeta? | |

βeta: Solid VS 4c getting into the crack (and that's from someone who is pretty comfy with VS and cracks), strenuous to protect that bit. The start is the usual limestone grassy shit but the finish is pretty neat. | βeta? | |

βeta: Surprisingly good, although not all that easy for the grade. Safe with careful gear placement (back up that peg!) | βeta? | |
