Currently access can only be gained with permission of the landowner, Patrick Walker via email. Mr Walker owns the farm land and buildings below the left hand side of the cliff and the left wing of the crag. Other landowners own the various parcels of land below Central Wall and the Right Wing and the majority of the cliff face and are happy for climbing to continue but so far, the only agreed access route from the road is via Mr Walker's Land.
Dates: 1 February to 31 July
Reason: Nesting Birds
The restriction applies to the whole crag for both peregrine and raven. The birds on this cliff are more sensitive to disturbance than at other sites such as Malham Cove.
Rockfax Description
Start right of the tree. Follow a line left to below the roof past a thread and pull over and up to the main break - peg. Step left, climb to the overlap and then take the groove on the right - thread - which culminates in a hard move leftwards - peg and thread. Make a long move up and right and finish direct. There is a lower-off on the vegetated ledges above. © Rockfax
