Visited this crag in May 2013. Packed on the bend between those plastic reflector posts. Nettles weren't too bad at this time of year alltho by 4pm I was being eaten by midges while belaying. Loads of wild garlic at the base of the crag and throughout the wood. We couldn't find the path up but found it on the way back down and its easier than the route we took up. The path leads up from the right hand side of the plastic posts.

Some surprisingly fine routes though finishes typically loose, needs more traffic to clean up more. Some in situ tat on trees would make it more user friendly.

The crag exists and is spelt Hag Wood in the mini guide. The access to it is terrible, though when you know the way it is no more than 10 minutes. The rock, when you get there, is a lot more stable than most areas in Swaledale and some of the climbs are sublime, especially Tower Traverse 18m. The crag also dries quickly, however, after rain the access and path beneath it are very slippy - there are a few nettles to be negotiated as well (do not wear shorts). GETTING THERE: Drive out of Richmond on the A6108 for 2.5 miles until you meet the main gate of the Swaleview caravan site. On the opposite side of the road is the dense Hag Wood. Heading back towards Richmond there is a gradual bend of about 300m at the end of which is a sharp little bend to the left and a public footpath. In between these two points there is a point on the road where it is possible to drive onto some long grass between some of those plastic road reflector posts. While the path can not be seen from this parking area (room for two cars tops), it is no more than 10m from you. Head through the nettles to find the path. This can be very slippy. Follow it up the hill as it trends and traverses slightly rightwards. This will bring you to the lefthand end of the crag not far from a distinctive detached pillar on the right. 5-10 min.
