Kilnsey Crag
Limestone Faces E sport f6b to f9a
Wharfedale's iconic roadside cliff, its huge main overhang jutting out over the valley floor. Steep, technical and fingery sport climbing on bulletproof limestone, with an unrivalled concentration of 8s beneath the famous roof. The steepness shrugs off rain but deep-seated seepage keeps many lines wet well into summer.
