Crag features

The South and North Sectors of Gate Cote Scar just down the valley from Kettlewell are described in the York Sport 2025 booklet. These new Sectors are some way to the right. They are all north north-east-facing and quick drying since they benefit from morning sunlight.  A 40m rope is, sufficient along with 9 clips.  The rock is generally clean and the location is very pleasant with a fine outlook. Several routes top-out to lower-off at the ledges above the walls. A path below the routes is developing. The climbs have been well cleaned although, as always, there is the possibility of loose holds. Between the climbing areas (or, very occasionally, between climbs) there are loose sections. Please approach as described and be aware that there is a footpath below some of the walls.
