Restricted Access

Calderdale Council own and manage Heptonstall Quarry and are very happy to allow access for climbing providing that only belay stakes are used as anchors above the crag (not fence posts). 

It's also worth highlighting that as with any piece of in situ equipment, all belay stakes should be checked before use to ensure they are solid. If you are concerned about the condition of any of the stakes pease contact access@thebmc.co.uk with full details.

Seasonal Restrictions

Reason: Nesting Birds

7 May 2024: two jackdaw nests reported in Forked Lightning Crack, please avoid this and nearby routes.

22m. A hybrid but the easiest way up this buttress with some good sections avoiding the crux of all 3 parent routes!

Start up Grindleys Grunt but traverse left under the overhang round the corner onto Senility. Move up this for a few metres to just below its crux then bridge out into Bull's Crack above its overhang. Finish on the ledge or up the chimney.
