Climbs 42
Rocktype Sandstone (hard)
Altitude 154m a.s.l
Faces S
The crags face south, dry very quickly and are an oasis of peacefulness. Some areas do seep after prolonged rain, particularly on the main wall - but there is usually enough dry rock to make a visit worthwhile between spring and autumn. The aspect means sunny summer days will be very hot - not ideal for hanging the slopers!
The crag has been equipped to a high standard throughout, by Andy Bailey, Paul Tattersall and Andy Wilby
20 minute approach. Park at Grid Reference NG944694 OS sheet19 1:50000, a large open pullout. Walk about 50m up to reach the old road, turn right and then after twenty metres or so head uphill over heathery ground initially on the left side of the small burn to join a worn deer/climber trail up the right side of the burn. After fifteen minutes of uphill the ground levels out somewhat and the hidden broad gully/fault line cuts rightwards to the base of the line of crags.
I can get my head around bolting the face climbs if there is no gear but who on earth thought it was morally ok to bolt the crack lines? Disgraceful. The Pylon King - 05/Aug/23 |
