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.

βeta: I agree with you now Fiend. A crucial foothold has come off since we did the first ascent. that made both the move and clipping a bit easier. I'll have a look at re-positioning the bolts next time up. Dave | βeta? | |

βeta: Seems hard for the grade and possibly 6c+ if you compare it to, say, the 7as at the lower right of Malham Catwalk. The crux pull is reachy and actually harder than it looks, there's still some trickiness above. The bolts are stupid - 2nd and 3rd should be placed 2' higher. Still a good route though. | βeta? | |

βeta: One very hard move which is easier if you're a little taller. Bolts are completely in the wrong place for an on-site. Better to do the route tothe right first. | βeta? | |
