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.

8m.

βeta: Must be an error somewhere as the climb looks clean and good but is nothing like HVD (I backed off). The BMC line takes vegetated cracks below and is poor.
