A tree hidden buttress, usually green, mostly of interest to those after esorteria, although if you can climb hard enough it is worthwhile. Bad News for Slab Climbers at E5 6a is the star climb here and a worthy challenge at the grade. Also has some bits and bobs of bouldering.

Parking and Approach
From Black Rocks follow the High Peak Trail east until it passes over a path at a bridge. Head right (uphill) along the path. 20mins max. A quicker approach is to follow Intake Lane out of Cromford to it's end then walk a few hundred yards up a track to the crag.
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 .
