Ash Tree Crag

19/08/2025
The crag comprises two distinct sections above an old ash tree, with broken sections to the left and between. Despite its elevation it can be sheltered, offers a wide selection of routes and affords great views of Ingleborough.
Approach from Clapham by the lane to Austwick, through the tunnels. Take the left fork (Long Lane) and then through the third gate on the right and up the steep field. On the left there is a long line of scars parallel to the lane in the centre of a small outcrop with a disused lime kiln; on the right behind a large ash tree is Ash Tree Crag.
Guides
The old edition of the Yorkshire Limestone guide provides descriptions but not a topo. Be aware that many of the newer guides do not include this crag
