Popular and deservedly so. Certain routes here contain loose rock (e.g Pinnacle Arete with its big wobbly block) so watch yourself, especially on the friable top-outs. Dogs are currently prohibited on the crag and land around.

CRoW Information

Open access land, designated under the Countryside & Rights of Way Act (2000) give area access rather than linear access as provided by public rights of way. It also gives a legal right of access specifically for climbing, as well as walking and other quiet recreation on foot.

Please bear in mind however that the landowner still has the right to restrict access for up to 28 days per year (often used on public safety grounds for shooting in moorland areas), and can also apply for longer term restrictions with Natural England (such as bans on dogs, or regular restrictions during particular times of year). It is important to check for these restrictions regularly as they can be added at short notice – all details for open access land in England can be found on Natural England’s websiteCurrently all dogs (except registered guide dogs) are prohibited. This prohibition does not cover Public Rights of Way, but this is not relevant at this crag as there are no PROW which pass near the crag.
