Earl Crag

Earl Crag
Earl Crag provides a wealth of mini classics and excellent bouldering and is often accompanied by a light breeze to deter midges. The edge is about 1km long and split into three main sections of high quality compact gritstone of edges and slopers.

Approach
The crag is most easily reached by car from the village of Cowling which lies on the A6068 Colne to Keighley road. From Cowling a minor road (Dick Lane) winds it's way up the hill towards the crag (left turn if coming from Bradford and the East, right if you are approaching from Burnley and the West.) Follow the lane uphill for a short while until you pass under the left end of the crags. There is limited parking here in a lay-by on the right, beneath a small quarry. An obvious path leads through the quarry and onto the moor from where the individual boulders and buttresses can then be accessed
