Restricted Access

Ramshaw is home to some of the hardest routes in Britain and most of them are graded HVS - a Yosemite style tape job is the only access requirement! There are no access problems at the main crag. However, do not try and climb at Lady Rock (the buttresses on the far right above the farm house), these are not on access land, the owner lives very close and has been confrontational.

12m.

Rockfax Description
12m. Classic. The steep central crack-line is climbed passing the phallus early on then continue up the widening crack. © Rockfax

βeta: Somebody has thrown a beer bottle down this climb. It's lodged in the back of the crack at the top of the route. There's a small amount of broken glass which can be avoided.
