Crag features
Several routes can be soloed above reasonable landings with also some bouldering possibilities. Predominantly sound rock and very pleasant in sunny weather.
A short but intense walk-in leads to the first of the 4 main crags, however only Cranberry Tor is currently open to climbers.
Nice but underwhelming from a climber's perspective.
Restricted Access
The area covered by this description is the Stiperstones National Nature Reserve and subject to unusual local bylaws which restrict certain recreational activites, including 'rock climbing with equipment'.
Natural England own the site and climbing is restricted to Cranberry Rock (the tor with the best routes) and with an agreement that no fixed or in situ equipment will be placed or left on the crag. There is a permit system which can be discussed by calling the site manager on (01743) 792294.
The outcrop of Nipstone Rock, a little further to the SSW, is managed by the Shropshire Wildlife Trust and no restrictions are known on this crag.
