Clint Scar

Buttermere & St Bees

A sunny aspect combined with easy access makes this a pleasant venue for a short visit for anybody operating around the Severe to HVS level. The crag is a 10m high natural limestone scar of well sculpted rock which is clean and quick-drying.  The routes follow  natural lines and are well protected . Descriptions in the Western Outcrops section of the new climbs section of the FRCC website. 

May have been partly filled in by the landowner.

Area information

With implimentation of the CRoW Act (2000), many Lakes fells and crags now have an Open Access designation. They also have many nationally important bird and plant species dependant on inaccessible crags/ledges and heather/mixed heath environments for survival. During the bird nesting period, a number of species can be vulnerable to disturbance. The Lake District restrictions are monitored, variable (VR) and reviewed in April/May. If the birds do not nest, restrictions are lifted early. Check the BMC and FRCC websites in early May for details. New restrictions will be notified on the websites and with on-site notices.
