A rather nondescript crag about 1km north east of Holborn, but with 2 excellent routes. The crag has been heavily quarried and the rock is poor in places.
Rock:
Fell Sandstone Carboniferous, Dinantian
Routes/Bouldering:
Routes:
There is one good route and one hard, serious one.
Problems: Nothing recorded
History:
Sporadic visits over the years produced Close Encounters(Steve Blake, 1978 - the best route on the crag), Raven Mad(Andy Moss, 1978) and the serious The Ayes Have It (Andy Earl, 2002). In between, Bob and Tommy Smith added the other 'routes'. |
