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
10m. Climb the scooped front of the face until it is possible to crawl rightwards and then stretch for the top. Hilarious and may be harder to second than to lead. A left-hand finish is easier but much less amusing. © Rockfax

βeta: I don't understand why this route is a problem to second (head first down a tube???? ..it crosses a horizontal slot with good runners). It is however one big reach at the finish so shorties may struggle. Great fun. | βeta? | |
