Where abouts is it? I don't have the yorkshire grit routes guide.

It's near Widdop. On the road from Widdop reservoir to Hebden Bridge a couple of miles from Widdop there's a couple of hairpin bends where the road crosses from one side of the valley to the other. There's a scout hut here, hence the name - the boulders are a short walk up the valley from here. There are a few traverses & some highballs, but nothing major. It's south facing & sheltered though, which is handy on cold windy winter days. It's infested with bracken in the summer.
