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
A desperate route which bisects the Adjudicator... traverse. Thin moves lead to the bulge. Pull through to good holds then climb up a scoop - poor small wires. A final dynamic moves remains. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
The old bolted project (only the bolt sleeves remain) which starts four metres left of the toe of the buttress (Adjudicator Wall). Climb the thin slab with a right dogleg to make use of the shallow pockets, then power through the bulge to jugs (where Adjudicator Wall crosses). Continue fairly direct with a further testing sequence passing another bulge eventually arriving at some jugs left of some saplings on the wall. An easy scramble up leftward leads to a Yew tree belay at the top.

βeta: E7 6c probably fair with a pad for the start (though prob at the harder end of E7). About 7c+ or, more helpfully, two f7A+ boulders with some easy ground in-between, however neither boulder is easy to unlock (both probably easier for the tall). A pad makes the start considerable safer; perhaps E8 without. Potential for a long-ish fall from the upper crux but gear seems okay - use your own judgement. The original "dynamic move" beta for the top is unlikely to be the easiest sequence for most. | ||
