What a wicked crag. Expected it to be a bit drab and grotty what with it being so out of the way and receiving little traffic. Was pleasantly surprised by a crag that got the sun all day had only a very light dusting of lichen here and there and had some outstanding boulder problems and trad lines.

The walk in.



More walk in








A fun, unknown (new?) V1/2 lip problem







One of the E2 aretes (I forget the name)



A cool wave feature with a couple of tasty problems


Perhaps a video to follow.

One of the places I always intended going, but never got round to it. What's the walk in like? Have you been to Brown Beck yet? Go past Slipstones and keep on going. Lovely wee crag.

Ditto. Is the access sotred now under CRoW?

And me!! I think I was supposed to be going with you last year, Will, or something??

What's the trad like?? Pencil me in for a visit. I reckon I can do an hour;s walk without fainting now.

I'm not entirely sure what the status of the walk in is although the guy who we were with did say that the CRoW act should cover it. Having said that there were a couple of gates that were padlocked shut that needed climbing to leave the footpath.
There was a guy shunting some stuff (not projects, established routes I believe) when we got there so obviously more people are now going.

Trad looks pretty good. A lot of it is quite bold though.

Moorland grit then. What route is the bloke on in the pics? There are some probs here http://www.yorkshiregrit.com/greatwolfrey.html Second one looks like the one you do in the vid.

[Will Hunt]

Cheers Chris. Should have been the first place I looked
