Restricted Access

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.

βeta: Surprisingly little real offwidth technique, a butterfly and wing is all I used.

βeta: I start with hands jammed in the thinnest part of the crack deep in the tunnel (normally above a puddle) and when I pull on I put my RF kind of out the back of the tunnel.
