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

UKC Logbook Description
A long way left of the main buttress is:
The hanging groove just to the right of Karate Kid entered across the roof with difficulty and still hard to reach the break after which easier ground leads to a lower off (possible to share with Karate Kid).
