Whiteheugh History
Whiteheugh is a very short crag with a very short history. The crag was climbed on by B. Imeson and Gordon Thompson in the sixty's and Steve Blake in the seventy’s. All the names and grades are by Bob Smith, John and Andrew Earl, Karin Magog and Steve Crowe who have invested a lot of time during 1994/5 climbing all the lines described.
