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.

UKC Logbook Description
A varied and popular, diagonal outing on good rock.
Start over the bulge of Phase Two and step left to join Blue Blood at good jugs. Make a move up BB to more good holds. A couple of hard moves lead across to join Valdez at its flake. Use an undercut to move left and make thin moves up to join better holds at a slight overlap. Straight up now to the One Previous Owner lower-off.
