Good evening all. just going thorough the North of England Rock Climbs guide & was wondering if it's still possible to access the above crag.

I'm no longer based in the north but going home next week & thought it may be a nice little venture?

Also if it's still possible to climb there does anyone know what condition it's in?

Andy help/advice would be appreciated.

Thanks for your help. 

If you have a partner there is a bolted crag in Appleby, Coudy Rock.
