Restricted Access

The crag is owned by Yorkshire Water, looked after by the ranger team at Calderdale Borough Council and is designated a SSSI. Please keep dogs on leads and beware of car break-ins. Please also note the seasonal voluntary restrictions relating to ground nesting birds.

Seasonal Restrictions

Dates: 1 March to 31 July

Reason: Nesting Birds

The restriction applies to night time access (for lamping / lantern sessions) during nesting season. Ground nesting birds are numerous in this area and easily disturbed at night, so please avoid visits after dark during the spring and early summer.

Rockfax Description
30m. Pull over the roof into the right-facing groove, up this then the face to the left to the 3rd Ledge. A short wall leads to the 4th Ledge. The easiest escape from here is to move right to the finish of the Ordinary Route. © Rockfax
