Restricted Access
Calderdale Council own and manage Heptonstall Quarry and are very happy to allow access for climbing providing that only belay stakes are used as anchors above the crag (not fence posts).
It's also worth highlighting that as with any piece of in situ equipment, all belay stakes should be checked before use to ensure they are solid. If you are concerned about the condition of any of the stakes pease contact access@thebmc.co.uk with full details.
Seasonal Restrictions
Reason: Nesting Birds
7 May 2024: two jackdaw nests reported in Forked Lightning Crack, please avoid this and nearby routes.
Hidden in the trees to the right of The Black Wall Area is a little sheltered cave with an obvious chalky flake at the lip. Start in the cave and move out to the flake, then use brute force and heel hooks to move round the left of the arête and finish up the left-hand side.
