Restricted Access

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
The face on the left of the cleanest section of rock. Climb the short wall to a good ledge (possible belay). From the left-hand end of the ledge, climb steeply up. The central section is more slabby, the wall steepens up to a tricky finish. © Rockfax

βeta: I think this is now lost to the ivy. Had planned to do it, but abbing down after TCoW, the squeezed in E1 (Don Van Vilet) is the last ivy-free line, although has several holds filled with dandelions.
