Situated very close to the Lancashire/Yorkshire border, not far from the town of Todmorden is waterfall that comes into winter condition under a hard freeze. Provides a very decent pitch of Grade III and provides excellent novelty winter fun for 12m. As such it proves very popular with local climbers. The ice can get very fat indeed and most will want to pitch it. The surrounding rocks of the crag are high friable sandstone and not at all appealing, although someone somewhere at some time has bound to have been stupid enough to put routes up on it. They do however give a dramatic atmoshere to the waterfall cupped within their clutches. Easily accessed in ten minutes of steep hiking from the A646.
