Brimham Rocks
Gritstone Faces S tradbouldering Mod to E6 / f7C
A sprawling wonderland of weird and wonderful gritstone towers scattered across Nidderdale moorland. Hundreds of short routes and problems on wildly sculpted rock, with buttresses facing every direction so something is always in the sun or shade. A National Trust honeypot, but the rocks absorb the crowds.
