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.

βeta: Chockstone now moved right down the route and not useful to be slung, needs big cams to protect the top section.

βeta: Chockstone is very loose, may fall out if you have slung it and fell on it.
