On first acquaintance this north-facing crag on the banks of the river Derwent does not appear as an inviting prospect but a closer inspection reveals much potential with a good range of climbs in the VS to E2 grades. The cleaner left-hand end of the crag contains several classics and dotted around the rest of the crag are many interesting climbs which follow the numerous groove lines or weave about to bypass the roofs and overhangs with which the place abounds.
