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

Dates: 1 March to 31 July

Reason: Nesting Birds

2024 Update - Both Peregrines and Ravens have been observed at the crag. It's not certain yet whether they are nesting. Restrictions will remain in place for now.

45m, 2 pitches. A two pitch traverse from left to right across Skyline Buttress with a belay in the niche on The Message. The first pitch is fully bolted (F6b+). Pitch 2 Climbs across to the corner (bolts) and on to go up to the break. Follow this (peg) to Standing Traffic and Late Night Final where a tricky section (bolts) eventually gains a standing position above the break (peg) and the belay of Late Night. Keep going past insitu-belays to finish at the lower-off of Diagonal Direct.
