GR 245063 825m. S Facing. A long escarpment of crags on the south face of Bowfell. The routes are fairly short but they are high, and provide good sport when there is plenty of snow. A good place to solo a few easy routes and some short technical problems you probably would not want to solo. Approach from the ODG Car Park GR 285061 and follow the path up The Band to Three Tarns. The crags are just beyond. Descent: To the SE (right side looking at the crag).
