Climbers are asked to not walk on the fabric geo matting which the BMC has installed to address the crag-top soil erosion - see on-site signage.
Parking and Approach
There are now double yellow lines across the layby & restrictions are actively enforced (fines £100). Parking in the layby is reduced but still possible if well off the highway. Do not block access gates to the house or quarry. If the layby is full, park in the marked area on B6521 or at Longshaw or Surprise View (15min walk).
Group Advice
The crag is very popular with groups and the following guidelines have been developed by DARE (Derbyshire Association of Outdoor Providers) and approved by National Trust to help address problems of overuse and ground erosion: Main recomendations: 1. No double parking in the lay-by 2. Only two groups at any one time 3. No abseiling over popular climbs For more information please contact Steve Brodie (DARE) Tel. No. (01433) 651594. All group leaders should familiarise themselves with BMC Green Guide for Groups of Climbers.
