Restricted Access

Currently access can only be gained with permission of the landowner, Patrick Walker via email. Mr Walker owns the farm land and buildings below the left hand side of the cliff and the left wing of the crag. Other landowners own the various parcels of land below Central Wall and the Right Wing and the majority of the cliff face and are happy for climbing to continue but so far, the only agreed access route from the road is via Mr Walker's Land.

Seasonal Restrictions

Dates: 1 February to 31 July

Reason: Nesting Birds

The restriction applies to the whole crag for both peregrine and raven. The birds on this cliff are more sensitive to disturbance than at other sites such as Malham Cove.

Rockfax Description
Start to the right of Stairway to Heaven. Climb up to sideways wires then with more difficulty to the break - cams and wires. From the break launch boldly up the unprotected wall with some trepidation to the next break and more gear. Finish direct. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
Start to the right of the start of Stairway to Heaven. Climb up to some wires then with difficulty to the obvious break. Place some sound wires and then launch up the wall with some trepidation to the next break and more gear. Finish direct. Harder than all the other routes on the central wall. A true Blue Scar route and good value at E7 6b.
