Crag features
The prominent long hill that pokes out of the rolling farm land west of Telford, give a pleasant hill walk with great views of Shropshire over some of the oldest rocks in the country. These pre-Cambrian volcanics form three single pitch buttresses just south-southwest of the summit trig point.
The top of the most westerly Needle’s eye buttress can be clearly seen 200m from the trig point.
The climbing and rock has an esoteric feel but more sound than first appearances, though any protection is hard won and the untraveled rock can be lichenous. Only a few routes are described mostly soloed in ascent, but there is many more harder line available.
Approach notes
Pleant of parking at east end of the hill, follow the main path up the summit.
| could anybody help with the location on the climbs themselves? is it a short approach in or a treck? many thanks Supadeano86 - 22/Apr/14 |
