Restricted Access
Langcliffe is regularly patrolled by YDNPA wardens and conservation volunteers. The quarry area is also designated as a Scheduled Monument under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 and English Heritage consider that any further drilling to place bolts may constitute a criminal offence unless consent is gained via them from the Secretary of State.
Skyline Buttress is in private ownership and no formal access agreement is in place. Negotiations have failed to resolve the issue with the landowner of this buttress, who has occasionally asked climbers to leave.
Seasonal Restrictions
Dates: 1 March to 31 July
Reason: Nesting Birds
2024 Update - Both Peregrines and Ravens have been observed at the crag. It's not certain yet whether they are nesting. Restrictions will remain in place for now.
Rockfax Description
The narrow corners to the right of Profit of Gloom give an equally good climb. Move up to good holds above the first corner and rock-up into the shallow corner above. Gain the final corner and finish by moving left to a lower-off shared with Profit of Gloom. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
Start in the corner on the right. Up this to step left and then regain the hanging pod and a break. The wall and shallow corner above leads to a step left and the lower off of Profit off Gloom.
