Restricted Access
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 classic aid route which is pretty straightforward with solid bolts. Climb the central pillar, then cross the roof bat-style, past a reachy section in the middle, to a lower-off above the lip. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
The lower off is obvious, monster chain link on wall and not above the lip.

βeta: The route is well bolted now, and there is a twin bolt lower off just just up from the lip. The aid is fairly straightforward, if a little reachy in the middle of the roof. | ||
