Please access Bamford only by the reccomended access path in the Burbage, Millstone and Beyond (2005) guide. This access point is beside a layby next to an obvious marked gate with a stile. Previous guides have mentioned an access point by an iron gate and an old ruin - please do NOT use this.
Bamford is included within a long term restriction for dogs on open access land (the restriction covers the whole of Moscar, Derwent and Hallam Moors). Dogs are still allowed on public rights of way, but not on the access land to the sides or on footpaths that are not designated as rights of way. Given that there are no rights of way that run under the crag, please do not take dogs climbing with you as this could damage the currently good relationship climbers enjoy with the landowner.
Access restrictions under CRoW sometimes apply, these vary each year - see signing at access points, or check the PDNP website for closure dates.
2023 published closure dates are: - August 29th - 31st; September 1st, 4th-8th, 11th - 15th, 18th - 22nd and 25th - 29th; October 2nd - 5th
These closures do not affect any public rights of way or concessionary paths which remain open.
Dates: 15 May to 13 June
Reason: Other
Ring ouzels nest on Stanage, Burbage and Bamford each year. The nest sites change quickly and frequently as ring ouzels often have several broods each year with different nest sites for each brood. On site signage will be up around any nest sites where climbing may impact on the birds and this is always up to date and accurate.
Rockfax Description
A fine route up the centre of the wall, starting at the notch. The climbing is tough, the holds are generally poor, and there are no runners. Also the landing is pretty grim. © Rockfax

βeta: I've read quite a lot about whether it E6 or E7. Its only 3 or 4 moves and it's not very hard. I climbed it on a hot day in July. there's no way it's E7. | βeta? | |

βeta: Dont forget, its graded for an ascent, without mats, and onsight. If you didnt know anything about it, the E6/7 grade would be about right | βeta? | |

βeta: This is incorrectly listed as E7 in the graded list. It should really be high in the E6s. | βeta? | |
