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.

16m.

Rockfax Description
16m. An exciting expedition. Climb Pile Driver but stay low until it is possible to gain the steep crack running up the right-hand side of the prow. Press on up this rapidly before you get too pumped and finish up the green wall. There are runners up there, honest! © Rockfax
