Nice little crag situated approx. one mile from the lay-by at Keasden Head, also known as Bowland Knotts. The easy graded routes seem quite easy for their grade while the harder routes seem hard for theirs! Seems likley some of the harder/steeper routes here were cleaned up (de-scrittled) and top roped before the lead, influencing the final given grade. As such, be weary of the guidebook grades on some the older (FA 80s-90s) routes right of Jack the Ripper. We have tweaked a few on here.
There are anchor options at the top but pick wisely, particularly on the left side (as faced) of the crag. Might be useful to have a long sling/extra piece of rope and run anchors back to some old posts approx 10m beyond the top of the crag (not a perfect option on their own though).
| It's a bit further than a mile to the crag - keep going along the wall, and you eventually see the crag above you (there are lots of boulders & craglets off to the other side of the wall, but you'll know when you've found the crag!).
Not that I didn't find it the first time I went or anything... net - 09/Apr/07 |
