In June 2022 signage was installed by the landowner indicating that they do not wish crags on the west side of the dale (Griff's, Black & Deckout, etc.) to be climbed on.
Negotiations to secure access have failed to reach a positive outcome. As such climbers should be aware that the owner does not permit access to west/lower Blackwell Dale. Any climber choosing to visit therfore does so against the wishes of the landowner and should politely leave without complaint if asked to do so.

βeta: @danismail13 - sorry pal didn't spot that you'd replied! The guidebook doesn't say anything about a sit start on LofA - it does mention that starting from the sit and avoiding the jug goes at 6C. It's not my line, I just added it so I could tick the 6C version listed in the book. You could be right about the name though - not that limestone is famous for its inventive names haha! | βeta? | |

βeta: @barnabushart almost everyone starts LofA from sitting, it's extremely logical, makes for a complete line and it literally has a sit start symbol in the route description. Your climb makes for a decent eliminate but to suggest it's a low start is silly. Might be worth renaming to "left of abattoir eliminate" or "direct" or something | βeta? | |

βeta: @danismail12 the normal version isn't a sit start - it's mislabelled on here. Normal starts from standing using a big jug, the low version starts from a sitting using the 2 slots and a heel hook. | ||
