Restricted Access

Ramshaw is home to some of the hardest routes in Britain and most of them are graded HVS - a Yosemite style tape job is the only access requirement! There are no access problems at the main crag. However, do not try and climb at Lady Rock (the buttresses on the far right above the farm house), these are not on access land, the owner lives very close and has been confrontational.

10m.

βeta: Didn’t seem that trivial to me. Was dirty with lots of loose grit, looked like it hadn’t been climbed in a while.

βeta: Wouldn't call this trivial at all... Perhaps if you had huge forearms. However - very nice long, rounded traverse with little for feet, so study the footwork first! And take lots of smaller cams, as swinging when falling (as I did) is a bad idea...
