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 good pitch. Easy climbing to the first break is followed by continuously technical moves up the shallow groove. Finish up the flake/corner to a good tree belay. © Rockfax
FA. Ron Fawcett 1978. Ron Fawcett gets the ball rolling at Blue Scar with three good extremes on the Left Wing. Unreal is the best..

βeta: Failed on this - fell off when foot slipped on the crux. Seemed solid at the grade with some slightly funny gear and a hard crux pull. Nice start. | βeta? | |
