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.
Rockfax Description
10m. Traverse left or right to reach the crack (or do it direct at V0+ (5b)) which leads to a good steep finish over the nose. © Rockfax

βeta: The topo shown for this in the guide book is different to that in the Staffs grit guide. The Staffs guide says to climb the groove for 2m then step left to the crack, and this says to traverse in from the left. Which is correct? I've done it twice (lead and second), and come in from the right both times. | βeta? | |
