Crocodile Crag

North Yorkshire, ENGLAND

Climbs 23 – Rocktype Gritstone – Altitude 200m a.s.l – Faces NE

Crag features
The crags are in woodland below the prominent boulder of Crocodile Rock. They are the extreme end of the mighty Guisecliff escarpment.

The crags divide into the main areas of Croc Block, Tail Swipe

Buttress and Shark Slab, which form a lower tier. There is some more bouldering above on the actual Crocodile Rock. The routes are quality gritstone outings; the best being in the VS to E3 range.

The crag receives good morning sun and is well sheltered. It is a good bet early in the year. It may be prudent to brush the upper slab of Shark Slab prior to an early season lead, but most of the routes stay fairly clean.

This is another find from the Yorkshire pioneer, Tony Barley; this guide is dedicated to his memory.
