UKC Logbook - 'Let's Get Physical Right-hand'

Access Banned

In June 2022 signage was installed by the landowner indicating that they do not wish crags on the west side of the dale (Griff's, Black & Deckout, etc.) to be climbed on.

Initially promising negotiations ultimately failed to reach a positive outcome. As such it remains the case that the owner does not grant access to west/lower Blackwell Dale. Any climber choosing to visit is therefore trespassing and should politely leave without complaint if asked to do so.

The signage appeared only after a big increase in visits, mostly to Griff's Buttress. Factors contributing to the situation included inconsiderate parking, large groups, damage to the fence/wall and the formation of an approach path which attracted non climbers to cross onto the land (presumably looking to walk down into Cheedale).

UKC Logbook Description
The commonly done version of Lets Get Physical misses out the boulder problem start. Gain holds at the right-hand end of the juggy shelf (as per the start of Beginner's Wall), then move back left to gain the pocket by the second clip. Finish direct, just right of the prow. The line in the Rockfax guide is incorrect - it joins the original Lets Get Physical lower down.
