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.
Reason: Nesting Birds
7 May 2024: two jackdaw nests reported in Forked Lightning Crack, please avoid this and nearby routes.
* This newly updated climb is waiting to be checked by the crag moderator.

βeta: This problem actually starts sitting on pram face and goes up this till the lip. It then traverses the lip using the chips on the lip until reaching the arete of scarface where it follows the holds directly on the hanging arete straight to the top and a mantle. The high chip is not used and all foot blocks are eliminated bar the holds on pramface. The first route description was submitted in error. | ||
