Crag features

On a wooded slope, the crag is a series of buttresses which are in varying states of returning back to the hillside. There is, howver, enough for a visit. Single pitch stuff. WARNING: Birds of prey sometimes nest in Savage Crack. Barbed wire has been placed around the bottom of the buttress to prevent access. Please take care not to disturb nesting birds. 

Approach notes

From the Thrunton Woods Forestry Commission car park. Go along the road until a track appears on the left. Follow this and after 1.5 km the crag is seen on the right. Alternately follow the tracks through the woods (best approached this way by Mountain Bike).

No Access Issues

Moving between buttresses across the hillside can be difficult. Because of this it is probably best to use the forest road at the top of the crag.

Take care! This crag is not much used these days and always had the reputation for being more friable than most Northumbrian sandstone outcrops (!).
