Ramshaw is home to some of the hardest routes in Britain and most of them are graded HVS - a Yosemite style tape job is the only access requirement! There are no access problems at the main crag. However, do not try and climb at Lady Rock (the buttresses on the far right above the farm house), these are not on access land, the owner lives very close and has been confrontational.
Rockfax Description
12m. The steep crack in the left wall of the angular groove is a fine and fulsome outing. It is reached via a short awkward traverse past flakes, and gives quality hand and then fist jamming. The route is always in the shade and isn't too far from three stars. © Rockfax
