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.

16m.

Rockfax Description
16m. Pull over the centre of the roof at a scoop then traverse crabwise leftwards (choice of levels) between the overlaps to escape up the grassy groove at the left-hand end of the face. © Rockfax
