In reply to Danbow73:
The area access rep recently attended meetings with the land managers and representatives of Forestry England, regarding the rockfall and the prospects for reopening.
While all parties at the meeting were keen to see climbing access restored as soon as possible, there is an expectation that the risk assessment work they feel is needed before this can happen will take at least 3 months.
The legislation around CRoW allows for a landowner to deny access for up to 28 days, after which an extension must be sought from Natural England. This period expired some time ago and the restriction is now technically a voluntary one (while an NE approval for an extension is being considered). That said, in the interests of long term access we'd urge that climbers abide by the restriction at least for now.
We will keep pressing the landowners on this at both a local and national level.
