FAR WEST RAVEN CRAG

Rock Type Rhyolite
Access Park at Old Dungeon Ghyll. Follow the path towards raven crag, then take the left path towards gimmer crag, until above the first stone wall. This is then followed across the hillside to below the lower part of the crag.
Comments The buttress is small but solid. It is out of the way, and gets very little traffic, as most people go to the larger raven crags to the east. Unfortunately some of the finishes have a thick coating of lichen.

This crag has three buttresses, lower, upper and higher upper. They all face south and thus tend to dry quickly.

Best Routes Before the storm, 13m, HVS 5a. Quite steep.

Bumble Arete, 23m, D.

Marilyn 60 today, 28m, E2 6a. A steep clean cut wall.

Local Facilities The Old Dungeon Ghyll has excellent ice cream for sale. These are excellent during hot weather, when you come down off the crag. The prices and food here are also second to known. The atmosphere is very friendly.
