Raven Tor

LimestoneFaces SWsportboulderingf7a to f9a

The most important hard sport crag in Britain: a savagely overhanging wall of pocketed limestone in Miller's Dale. Almost everything here is a piece of climbing history, culminating in Hubble, arguably the world's first 9a. The steepness keeps rain off, but winter seepage streaks can shut down key lines for months.

Freely-licensed photographs taken at or near the crag. Rock changes less than websites do, but check the date — an approach can silt up or a path can be diverted.
