Haytor

GraniteFaces StradboulderingMod to E5 6b

Dartmoor's most famous tor, twin domes of coarse golden granite crowning the open moor above Bovey Tracey. Rounded cracks, slabs and steep walls give the best routes on the moor, with Low Man's hidden north face surprisingly imposing. Superb friction, big views and rapid drying in the moorland wind.

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.
