Dow Crag

Co. Durham

A scatter of small blocks and outcrops a few metres in height in an inexpressibly bleak and grim location. Are you fed up with rhyolite and endless queues for 'Eliminate A' but still fancy making a name for yourself with a 'prestigious' first ascent on a Dow Crag? This could be just the ticket for you! Gritstone and no crowds (yet). If you aren't very fussy or particularly bright then I guarantee you won't be disappointed (possibly).
