During a visit to the crag on Saturday 22nd September, we were approached by the landowner and asked not to access the crag from the left hand end (when facing the crag) as described in the Rockfax Northern Limestone guidebook. He advised this was due to a fence and wall getting climbed over and damaged at the start of the Quarry Sector and also between the Sporadic Walls and Soft Centre
He asked that we access the crag from the right-hand end, via the footpath which runs around the north side of the quarry to Foredale. Then from the footpath walk up the fairly steep shoulder to the crag. We were unaware of the access land designation when talking to him (or if there have been previous access discussions) but the request seems reasonable for accessing the right hand end of the crag and avoids crossing any walls to get to the Soft Centre or Overhanging Buttress. It may even be a slightly shorter approach if you park at Foredale.
The Rockfax App brings together all the Rockfax climbing information with UKC logbooks and presents it into a user-friendly package for use on Android and iOS devices.
Well worth a visit but don't believe the approach time quoted in the Rockfax guide. The walk in takes 20-30 minutes! roger whetton - 05/Oct/15 | |
Great crag, climber here 16th June 2015 in Soft centre area. All the climbs offer something interesting, bolting is great ! a great crag to build some confidence. Ahogg16 - 19/Jun/15 | |
Had a good day climbing on the Soft Centre routes. They are shortish, well bolted and on good sound rock. Good work and bolting by the Yorkshire boys. Christheclimber - 23/May/15 | |

The quality of the rock at the top of the crag is very poor and makes it difficult to make even a tenuous belay. Not worth the visit. Ragingpossum - 07/Apr/12 |
