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
Two worthwhile pitches split by a ramble up Brown's Blunder.
1) 5c, 24m. Climb the right-hand crack in the lower wall to its end then gain the ramp with difficulty. Move left and then back right to a stance in the base of a groove (thread belays).
2) 5b, 18m. Climb the steep groove. At its top swing boldly up and right to gain a standing position with difficulty. Finish up and right again, more easily. © Rockfax
