Proper moorland experience at 700M ASL © peteJ23

Crag features

High altitude bouldering. A collection of mostly west facing boulders from the

summit of Great Whernside ranging north for roughly 1km (northernmost

point marked on OS map as Blackfell Crags) The edge is exceptionally rough

and coarse moorland gritstone, untouched, unpolished, but may need

cleaning in certain parts. It comprises mainly slabs, walls and traverses with a

few quality hard roof problems. Its westerly aspect catches the evening and

mid-afternoon sun; the boulders are very exposed but afford splendid views of

the Wharfe valley and surrounding district.

Approach notes

Via hag dyke from centre of Kettlewell. 3.75km/2.5miles to summit of great

Whernside, Yorkshire Dales.

Can also be approached from summit of Kettlewell / Leyburn road (N.B. this

road is 1:4)
