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.

10m.

Rockfax Description
10m. Climb onto the rhino's horn (sling runner) then continue up a wide crack and the juggy wall on the right. © Rockfax

βeta: A beautiful climb. An epic of 3 parts. The first, a strenuous cuddle with the horn. The second, an intimate struggle through the horrendous crack. The third, after regaining some composure, lose it again on the final slab. Surely deserving 3 stars, each one for how much I never want to climb this again. Great route.
