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
10m. Not unexpectedly, the right-hand crack is thuggish. Fortunately it is well-protected and the difficulties are soon over - a two-move wonder. Thought by many to be a harder proposition than Brown's but really it isn't! © Rockfax

βeta: Short and sharp. Two moves and it's done. HVS sounds right, even if my ego would rather see it at E1. | βeta? | |

βeta: The upgrade is a misprint, presumably - reasonably straightforward HVS. Compare Joe\'s/Brown\'s Crack next door. | βeta? | |
