Crag features
Baines Cragg and the adjacent Little Cragg offer up a pleasant, ellevated (and roadside) situation along with decent rock, however the formation of these small crags has meant the lines and landings are generally quite poor. That said, a couple of hours fun can be had and the area can easily be tied in with visits to the nearby natural blocks of Windy Clough and Ottergear quarry.

Approach notes
There's a little roadside parking, however the large layby 200m north of Baines Cragg is the best solution. The crag is a stiff and steep 45min cycle ride from Lancaster. The crag overlooks the road at the top of the hill, facing SE.
Little Cragg: On the opposite side of the road and 300m east of Baines Cragg is Little Cragg (80m south/in font of the large layby parking), where there are a few more scruffy problems but with generally better landings.
| This crag has been climbed on since the 1960s by local climbers. There are numerous problems and variations. Claiming first ascents is not really a possibility as they are generally repeats. onefootholdinthegrave - 03/Jan/21 |
