Restricted Access
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.
Seasonal Restrictions
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
A dramatic pitch through the bulges on the right-hand side of the crag. Follow the line of old and new bolts to the overlap. Move up and climb rightwards past threads to the upper break. Finish direct to a lower-off. © Rockfax

βeta: Are you sure about this Tom? My info was that this had been considered, but not carried out following discussions with other climbers. As far as I know only some of the treads were replaced - with new thread. The old aid bolts were replaced several years ago. | βeta? | |

βeta: The retro-bolting posse have been to work on this one in Summer 2005, replacing all the threads and pegs with bolts. I don't agree with this practice, nor do lots of other people, but it's quietly going on seemingly unnoticed. | βeta? | |
