Crag features

Despite its name on the OS Map, this crag situated midway between Rylstone and Crookrise, is better known to most climbers as Crookstones. It is a complicated broken area of scattered boulders on the south side of a steep ravine. There is a good variety of grades with something for everyone and with a classic feel.

The boulders receive good sunlight from noon 'til dusk. The rock is a shade grainier than its neighbours and its relatively recent discovery means some problems may need a brushing. Year-round climbing is possible although humid summer days when vegetation is at its peak are probably best avoided. Try and aim for crisp weather from autumn to spring.

Good topo here.
