Restricted Access
Ramshaw is home to some of the hardest routes in Britain and most of them are graded HVS - a Yosemite style tape job is the only access requirement! There are no access problems at the main crag. However, do not try and climb at Lady Rock (the buttresses on the far right above the farm house), these are not on access land, the owner lives very close and has been confrontational.
Rockfax Description
16m. The elegant slanting groove is a classic with a steep start then a fine flake forming a mild uphill hand-traverse. The initial wide section is awkward (thread runner), after that get shimmying. The perfect place to start your comeback maybe. © Rockfax
