Yorkshire Sport Climbing
Most of the newly developed ‘steady’ sport routes in Yorkshire are documented in the recently updated York Sport 2025. However, the pace of development means that several new crags are included in the newly published York Sport 2026.
Developments of this kind plus replacement and new lines on the major crags are supported by the Yorkshire Bolt Fund. Please feel free to contribute if you wish.
Contributions can be made via Paypal (just search Paypal Yorkshire Bolt Fund) or better still, as they take a cut, by bank transfer to the bolt fund account at Sort Code 53-70-00 Account Number 24433764. If you make a contribution of around £15 and then email Dave Musgrove at davemusgrove7b@gmail.com he will post a copy to you.
Also available at some walls and shops inc Needlesport, Inglesport, Big Depot.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the nature of mountain limestone the developing areas may have, or be close to, some loose rock (usually noted in the script) and may require the necessary experience and be approached with the care due to such locations. The BMC recognises that climbing and mountaineering are activities with a danger of personal injury or death. Participants in these activities should be aware of and accept these risks and be responsible for their own actions.,All fixed gear has been placed with regard to making these climbs as sport routes. However, the rock is mountain limestone and it is for the individual to assess the security they provide.
Development since publication can be downloaded below:
Replacement of fixed gear is a costly and time-consuming exercise so please lower or top-rope off your own quick draws. By doing this you will extend the life of the equipment considerably.
