A minor crag with some boulder problems, 2 of which are very good indeed. The rock is generally reasonable but could do with traffic. The surrounding is peaceful and consists of unspoilt woodland.

Please note that the boulder problems were climbed after a 2 week dry spell in the middle of summer and this is probably the best time to appreciate the venue . Landings are flat, but a mat is useful due to the height of some of the problems (4-6m).
Parking and Approach
From Harden drive up the steep and winding Keighley Road for approx 1km to a small rectangular car park on the left. Follow the path for ~100m to a kissing gate. Here is a rock with 5 small boulder problems. Take the path leftwards and continue down-hill now within woodland for approximately 200m to another path. Again take the left fork and continue for about 50m until the crag is found. If struggling then locate the dry stone wall and continue to its bottom (SW) corner. The crag can be seen from here
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 .
