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. Climb rightwards to the central roof-crack, have a snooze in the slot, then pull smartly onto the wall to finish. © Rockfax

βeta: It took three visits to get this one right. Harder than a lot of Eastern HVS but HVS none the less. It's not easy getting your legs out from under the lip if you're tall. Don't wear shorts. | βeta? | |
