Lake District
23 crags listed — rhyolite, gritstone.
Dow Crag
A great wall of buttresses and gullies above Goat's Water in the Coniston fells, one of the birthplaces of British rock climbing. Long mountain routes on sound, blocky rhyolite, with the multi-pitch classics of the Ordinary and Eliminate routes drawing climbers for over a century. North-easterly aspect keeps it cool and slow to dry.
Gimmer Crag
The finest crag in Langdale, a clean grey barrel of rock high on the flank of the Langdale Pikes. Perfect rough rhyolite gives sustained, delicate climbing with tremendous exposure, and the south-westerly aspect makes it one of the sunnier mountain crags. Kipling Groove is one of the great HVS pitches of Britain.
Shepherd's Crag
The ever-popular roadside crag of Borrowdale, minutes from the Lodore Falls with views over Derwentwater. Clean volcanic rock gives a dense collection of valley classics at amenable grades, including the much-loved Little Chamonix. Low altitude and a quick approach make it the Lakes' most reliable bad-weather-dodging trad venue.
