Restricted Access
Ramshaw is home to some of the hardest routes in Britain and most of them are graded HVS - a Yosemite style tape job is the only access requirement! There are no access problems at the main crag. However, do not try and climb at Lady Rock (the buttresses on the far right above the farm house), these are not on access land, the owner lives very close and has been confrontational.
Rockfax Description
14m. The central crack leads awkwardly to the capping overhang which provides the main meat of the route. An accursed struggle for most, prepare to be mauled! © Rockfax
