Tortoise Crag

Dow, Coppermines & Eskdale

20-30m single pitch low angle friction climbing on granite slabs.  Protection is sparse. Consider bringing a stake for belays as the terrain at the top is grassy (there is one good spike above the left-hand end of the crag). Full details in the climbing area of the FRCC Website.
