| Photos of crags in good light in summer are needed for the next edition of this guide. Please contact the FRCC Guidebook Photographs Editor if you think you have any such photos (in any format). Needless to say any good action photos would also be well received - for these we need to know: crag, route, grade, pitch, name of climber, name of photographer. You don't get paid I'm afraid, but you will get a free guidebook if we use any of your pictures! |

The scar is located just west of the A595, Egremont to Bigrigg section. It is easily reached from the lay-by just above Egremont cricket ground. Park in the lay-by and discreetly cross the fence into a field, walk northwards along the field boundary, through a gate and then leftwards across the next field, from here the crag comes into view and is quickly reached. Total Time: 5 minutes
The sunny aspect of the crag, combined with easy access makes it a pleasant venue for a short visit for anybody operating around the Severe to HVS level. The crag is a 10 metres high natural limestone scar, the rock is clean and quick drying and extensive weathering has resulted is some superb features. All of the routes follow strong natural lines and can be well protected with a good selection of nuts.
Hidden amongst trees the scar has avoided attention until recently, most of the routes were first climbed during the summer of 2005 by Chris Fisher. Development of the left tier took place over March 2008.
