Crag features
A jumble of boulders that are composed of good, silvery grit, set high on Simon’s Seat. Problems have been done over the years but nothing recorded until now. There are some very good boulder problems (and some that are really routes) ranging in height from diminutive to highball. Landings are generally ok except where noted in the script - a couple of pads are recommended. Though north-facing the problems are clean and dry quickly. Easily combined with a visit to Dale Head Rocks, Lord’s Seat or Simon’s Seat. Beware the odd man-eating hole amongst the heather.
Approach notes
The best staring point is the parking at the foot of the Howgill to Simon’s Seat path from where there are two alternatives. 1/ Go over Simon’s Seat towards Lords Seat and drop down a little way before there, as the rocks come into view. 2/ Follow the valley track and then up the zig-zags to Dale Head Rocks (the ones over the stile/wall that gives access to CRoW land) then bash up through the heather to LSS - less distance and climbing but with some heather bashing. Either way takes around 40 minutes
