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.
12m.
Rockfax Description
12m. A steep pushy start gains a groove and this leads to the projecting snout of the 'Cannon' which is passed with difficulty. © Rockfax

βeta: Really sorry but I took a fall and the spike snapped clean off. I had a sling around it. Never in a thousand years would have thought it would go but it sheered at the base. Thankfully the huge block missed me sprawled on the ground, my belayer and the dog. If someone wants to glue it back on it's about 100 feet down the slope. | βeta? | |

βeta: The spike near the start (before entering the hand jams) has snapped off, quite a large chunk which removes a big foothold and possibly a runner. | βeta? | |
