Caley might be a bit too overgrown
I wouldn't start at Almscliff. Try somewhere else if conditions are good and always have Almscliff as the inevitable fallback, otherwise you will end up with 4 days of Almscliff (which isn't bad but there's more out there!) Slipstones is a good choice for breaking up the journey south (or back north), as it's just off the A1.See if you can collar a knowledgeable local for Brimham, as you will almost certainly get lost.
Don't get me wrong, Almscliff is brilliant, and bomb proof as a reliable conditions spot, but I was jus' sayin' don't intentionally go there, as you will always end up there sooner or later. It's a bit like Tremadog or Stanage.
So only go there unintentionally?

If I was only here for a few days I would suck it up and do the walk up to crookrise, go do barry king size then wonder along and check out kajala and finish the day off with pixie tits sit! That's one day! Slipstones is mega especially at the 7a-7b range, sulky little boys, layby arête etc. Then check out almscliff and caley like others have highlighted.Be prepared for it raining the entire time you are here and if not then thin skin after day one, go steady! But it's ace so that cool!
...decided to get to Almscliff. ...got spanked on underhand, got spanked on the keel, ...tried demon wall roof - got spanked, tried pebble wall - got spanked...
