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
A longer pitch than it first appears. The steep rib gains a ledge. Finish up the thin crack and wall left of the arete. Moving right to finish up the top corner of Safer at any Speed is Sky Speed, 6b. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
Start just right of the arête and trend up then rightwards to the top of the groove on Safe at Any Speed before stepping onto the big ledge. Take the cracks and arête above to a bolt belay. A better alternative finish is to move right taking the groove of Safe at Any Speed. F6b*
