| Access |
From the center of Summerbridge a steep winding lane leads up to a cross-roads, beyond which lie Brimham rocks and its car parks. The rocks are managed by the national trust and there is a charge in the summer of around £2 a car. Climbing is permitted on all of the rocks although birding restrictions are active from time to time. |
| Comments | The grit is generally good, except on the more popular climbs where it does get very polished. There is a wide variety of climbs, from delicate slabs, bold walls, to jamming cracks and off widths. The rock is generally extremely rounded, which gives difficult finishes. As lots of the rocks are pinnacles there is very little seepage, making some climbs available all year round. Generally the rocks are quite small, with the majority being around 10m, also there are a lot of climbs in the mid grades from VS to E1. On sunny summer days I find it to be a good place to avoid. Not due to the amount of climbers, but the amount of small kids and parents disturbing the peace. |
