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
Long, arduous and rarely done. Not marked on the topo. Start left of Brutus, join and follow it to the ridge. Descend 5m then cross the steep wall to reach the base of George's crack. Continue down right then across to the stance on John Peel. Climb up and right via a shallow groove, traverse right to the end of all things. © Rockfax
