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.
Rockfax Description
14m. Take the juggy green streak to a rest then pull left past a rock tooth (which will come off one day - get your belayer to stand aside) into the final steep groove on solid finger jams. © Rockfax

βeta: Yikes! So many scary loose blocks to best avoid, also top out is quite exposed - check out the down climb before you set off! James belayed me and I down lead the route - a 120 cm sling is useful and a series of nuts and cams to potter down | βeta? | |

βeta: A great candidate for MVS! A thuggy start and a commiting move up into the final positive crack. It will be less commiting when the tooth is finally "pulled". Take some cams for the belay and a simultaneous ab will get you back down to the ground safely and elegantly. | βeta? | |

βeta: I'd question the starring of this route; found it quite scrappy recently, with lots of loose bits and bobs - the whole "tooth" is loose, and a belayer-killer waiting to happen. Might be worth noting that it is somewhat involved setting a safe belay at the top, and that getting off is either very exposed, or requiring some inspired ropework. | βeta? | |
