Mini Gigg (Schoolboys Scar)

The popular Giggleswick South crags has a fairly new offering on the very top tier.
This is the prominent long scar situated below Schoolboys Tower and not far above the right end of Giggleswick South. The location is very pleasant – south facing, with a long outlook and away from the road noise that sometimes plagues the other Giggleswick crags. If short routes aren’t your bag then this isn’t the place for you. However, if you don’t mind routes being short, so long as they are interesting, sustained, for their length and on fine, water-worn limestone then you will have a good day.
Approach is either from the Buckhaw Brow parking, flat walk in or parking on "The mains" (https://maps.app.goo.gl/DoXQGja3PnGvQzJX8) for a steeper but shorter walk in.
