Crag features

Lurking out of sight below the Barden Road, between Eastby Crag and Halton Heights are two boulders that are home to a handful of great problems on bullet hard grit, more akin to Almscliff than Barden Moor. Their south-facing aspect mean quick-drying, dirt free rock, and the proximity to the road makes it an ideal quick hit venue.

Approach notes

Approximately 1km past Eastby, park in the layby on the right just beyond the cattle grid. Walk back down the road and through the gate west of the cattle grid and keep wall side for 300m to reach the boulders.

Restricted Access

Climbers have been challenged in the past and, if asked to, leave have politely done so. However, the farmer has become further annoyed due to climbers not following the proper approach and even throwing pads and climbing over the wall in order to save what is probably a couple of minutes walk. Due to this he suggested that climbers should not enter the fields in future though some have done so recently and have not been challenged. The boulders are on private land and there is no agreement that climbing is allowed here. Livestock is often in the field so no dogs.
