Crag features

North facing quarried limestone, up to about 15m height. Rock loose in places. Long slope above can provide run-off which freezes to yield ice in winter although too lean to climb in most winters, probably because of water percolation through rock.

Approach notes

About 3km from Frosterley. Easy access, except when road covered in snow when 4WD vehicle or walk-in required. Parking nearby.

Restricted Access

This crag is located on open access land so there is a right to walk and climb here, however the open access designation doesn't give a right to install bolts. The landowner has noticed the recent bolting development and requested that the hangers be removed whilst negotiations over the sport routes take place.
