Plantation Crack

Yorkshire Gritstone

Part of the Brimham suite of crags. There has always been some good, though limited, routes and bouldering at Plantation Crack.  Over the years this has been developed and now adds up to a fairly substantial area spread along the edge.  The rock is of very high quality and is unusual, being arranged in two tiers with the bouldering mostly concentrated on blocks at the left and right end of the edge, sometimes on the lower level and sometimes above.

Private Land

The rocks are on private land and the area beneath the crag has been replanted following felling a few years ago. The newly forming wood is used for shooting and other sporting activities and permission to climb should be sought from Mr Stuart Barrett of Braisty Wood Farm.

The arrangements have changed since the publication of the YG Guide.

Please:

1 – Ring on 07837863653 and ask for permission – Mr Barrett is very happy for people to climb but there will be times when commercial activities will mean it is best not to.

2 – If there is no answer (unlikely) leave a mobile phone number.

3 – It would help for you to leave a note with a mobile number in the car window in case people turn up to use the land after you have started climbing.

The usual courtesies apply – please keep noise down, no large groups and no dogs unless on a lead and with permission.

Parking and Approach

There is parking on the road verge below the crag. Enter by the gate and follow a track to the crag.
