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. Climb the slabby wall up and right to reach a ledge awkwardly then finish up the groove above. Gaining the ledge direct through the bulges is easier but a bit steeper. © Rockfax

βeta: A fun climb, with awkward moves. But a real sandbag as certainly with the direct start the protection is poor for the move over the bulge.
