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.

10m.

Rockfax Description
10m. The water runnel that splits the large bulge is desperate.
Though well-protected, it requires a hideous mantel on a skin-ripping fist-jam and is only suitable for extreme masochists! © Rockfax

FA. Jonny Woodward 1978.
