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).

βeta: Never been 8B but certainly an easier prospect nowadays, much like anything starting up Rich’s since all the holds got much better and new beta emerged. 8A/+ I reckon now. | βeta? | |
