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.

Rockfax Description
The elegant scoops in the right-hand side of the wall succumb to technical bridging. Feels bold but gives superb climbing. © Rockfax

βeta: Failed to do this - seemed a very dodgy proposition protection-wise. Very hard/reachy to place blind wire to protect first moves into scoop, then very pumpy finding and placing enough disappointing RPs for the next bit - too pumpy for me, had to down-aid. Not fun despite it's relatively appealing look. | βeta? | |
