Deer Gallows

Deer Gallows, the baby sister crag to Crookrise, offers a pleasant evening of short, lower grade cragging on its right hand wall, while on the left is a series of classic VSs and HVSs.

Approach: Park at Embsay Reservoir, SD 999544, then walk along the side of the reservoir to the access point onto Barden Moor. Cross the stile onto the moor, then turn E for approximately 50m to a path which leads directly up the hillside. Follow this until level with the crag, then contour across to it.to avoid getting into a deep bog.
