Site navigation

A Crag Guide gives an extensive view of all sub areas and climbs at a point in the index. It shows a snapshot of the index heirachy, up to 300 climbs (or areas) on a single web page. It shows selected comments climbers have made on a recently submitted ascent.

At a minor crag level this should be suitable for printing and taking with you on a climbing trip as an adjunct to your guidebook.

1 * Magical Leopluridon

Some tricky placements and runouts, leader should be solid at the grade. Bridge up chimney to stance below small rooflet. Charge up crack to the left on fun pockets with reasonable gear. A short but unprotected traverse gains the TB above OAB.

2 Magical Leopluridon VF

As for ML, but instead of traversing to tree continue straight up on imaginary gear to poor trad belay at base of large overhang. Either downclimb left to TB or sacrifice gear and rap. Not recommended.

3 * On a Bridge

Approach ridge meets the cliff here. Stylish bridging up chimney with great pockets and solid gear. When chimney ends step right onto face with no pro but easily up to TB. Great fun!

Classic bridging with great pockets, no gear on final section to TB but easy ground.

4 Were On An Adventure Charlie P1

Up easy chimney until it narrows at half height. Either thrutch directly up chimney or step out and bridge up to large tree. No gear for the last 9m. TB

5 Were On An Adventure Charlie P2

Only the very sick and twisted would repeat this pitch. Ramble up mank to the base of overhanging corner. Tricky bridging, exposure and suspect gear on loose and rotten rock gets the heart racing. Bowel-quiverring moves through the crux gains an extremely loose and dirty ledge. Very carefully up dirt and loose rocks to large TB. Scary stuff!!
