The Willersley area is owned by the Arkwright Society. It is essential that climbers do not block gateways with parked cars and that disturbance is keep to a minimum. Access negotiations have been on-going between the BMC and the Arkwright Society, and climbers continue to access the crag. If you are asked to leave, please remain courteous and report the incident to the BMC.
Rockfax Description
One of the original classics of the crag is now very polished, but if you can handle that the climbing is superbly sustained.
1) 4b, 15m. Follow the slabby groove, turn the overhang on the right, then traverse left to a small stance and tree belay.
2) 4c, 20m. Head up the fine groove passing an awkward bulge. © Rockfax

βeta: Very polished?? Obviously someone has never been to Ravensdale. There's a bit of polish but pretty standard for peak limestone. Best rock is on P2. | βeta? | |

βeta: Surmounting the overhang is fun and surprisingly easy, but I wouldn't give this 3 stars. The pockets near the top were full of grime too! | βeta? | |
