Crag features

This large sandstone outcrop is on the famous hill overlooking teeside. The routes are long for the area and certainly have a big feel to them. The quality of the rock varies considerably. The main face has variable quality rock. The two cracks on the left hand end are well worth a look (one HVS 5a, the other E1 5b). The best route at the crag takes the line directly up the main face. Good quality solid climbing.

There are some lovely micro routes on high quality moors sandstone at the right hand end.

Good topo here.

'A vastly under rated crag. Went up there yesterday for another look, I was blown away! The reputation of this crag is that it is sandy and loose on a small and large scale. While this is true in some areas, there are a few high quality routes up there with the best around.' Luke Hunt, March 09

Went up for walk today, never climbed here but the routes looked excellent. Tried a little bit of bouldering (albeit in trainers!) and it was pretty good. Looks like there some routes that are pretty secure, but others on the left of the main face look like theres significant damaged and risk of loose rock. Not loads of places to set up on top - probably best threading the concrete trig point with a sling, but take a decent length rope for this as its a little way back from the edge. Planning on taking some gear up and having a proper try some time soon. Please message me if you have any info/advice/topos/guide notes!

Totally wicked venue! NOT LOOSE. NOT SANDY on the routes recorded. The main face and the cracks either side are ace and the bouldering is also brilliant.
