Most problems are sitters so not a place for the highball fanatic. The rock is high quality silvery grit, similar to Hen Stones on Simon’s Seat but only recently cleaned so bring a brush. A paucity of holds and rather rounded finishes add to the fun.
Parking and Approach
From Skyreholme follow the road over the bridge and uphill. When the tarmac stops, park by a tree. Keep on the now rough track in the same direction taking the right-ish branch and passing the 'No Cars' signs until a gate is reached. Continue following the wall until you see another wall coming in from the north. Head diagonally left rocks you can see are the west end of the rocky ridge (containing the blocks) until the crag comes into view.
CRoW Information
Open access land, designated under the Countryside & Rights of Way Act (2000) give area access rather than linear access as provided by public rights of way. It also gives a legal right of access specifically for climbing, as well as walking and other quiet recreation on foot.
Please bear in mind however that the landowner still has the right to restrict access for up to 28 days per year (often used on public safety grounds for shooting in moorland areas), and can also apply for longer term restrictions with Natural England (such as bans on dogs, or regular restrictions during particular times of year). It is important to check for these restrictions regularly as they can be added at short notice – all details for open access land in England can be found on Natural England’s website .
