Restricted Access
Langcliffe is regularly patrolled by YDNPA wardens and conservation volunteers. The quarry area is also designated as a Scheduled Monument under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 and English Heritage consider that any further drilling to place bolts may constitute a criminal offence unless consent is gained via them from the Secretary of State.
Skyline Buttress is in private ownership and no formal access agreement is in place. Negotiations have failed to resolve the issue with the landowner of this buttress, who has occasionally asked climbers to leave.
Seasonal Restrictions
Dates: 1 March to 31 July
Reason: Nesting Birds
2024 Update - Both Peregrines and Ravens have been observed at the crag. It's not certain yet whether they are nesting. Restrictions will remain in place for now.
Rockfax Description
An excellent varied pitch. Take the open groove to a ramp and then head rightwards around a bulge up to a break and right to a small ledge. From the small ledge, climb the open groove to a lower-off. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
A newly bolted version of Diagonal Direct.
The roof can be gained by a direct line up the wall just to the right of the ramp. This is slightly harder than the original and when combined with the direct finish makes a very good climb.
