This is the worst crag in the North.Bottle throwing youths, excrement, rubbish and graffiti. Its got the lot. Try the Cathedral quarry instead.

The playing fields in the description of how to locate the crags have been renamed the BILL SHANKLEY PLAYING FIELDS. The crag is not worth visiting in the june onwards as the cover of the trees prevents any sun from keeping the rock dry. not to bad during a warm spring though.

plenty of scope for bouldering. Needs a bit of cleaning up.
