The BMC has an agreement with the National Trust for fixed equipment in the dale. Put simply this is that like for like maintenance/replacement can take place as and when is needed but placement of new bolts would require agreement through the Peak Area meeting followed by approaching the National Trust for permission. There isn't a presumption of refusal by any means, but the National Trust understandably want to keep track of bolting activity in the Dale and in some cases they may need to apply for SSSI consent as landowner. The National Trust are extremely supportive of climbing in all it's forms in the Dale and it's important that we continue to cultivate our good relationship with them to ensure our needs as climbers are considered into the future.

Rockfax Description
The left-hand parallel crack in the right side of the face is a popular outing and follows a strong natural line.
1) 4b, 20m. Climb a bulge into the groove that falls from the crack-line and follow it to a stance on the right.
2) 4c, 20m. Step back left and follow the sustained crack, passing a small bulge a short way below the top. Tree belay. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
The straight crack line punches its way through the lower ivy and bushes until you emerge at the base of the upper crack line. This will swallow up all your gear and gobble up your jams all the way to the top. An uncharacteristically straightforward top out remains. Low in the grade, perhaps?
