Pot Scar

31st May 2022 by Andy Barton Leave a Comment

The low cliff-line above the hamlet of Feizor is a popular trad venue. Pot Scar has plenty of routes that give excellent but quite pressing climbing where care with gear placement is necessary, particularly at the starts. From a distance the cliff face looks featureless, but closer inspection reveals there to be a pronounced mix of corners, grooves and thin cracks. The rock is generally sound and the location sublime with extensive views to the south.

Moughton Nab

17th May 2022 by Andy Barton 1 Comment

Moughton Nab is a great little sport crag with a variety of grades. The left hand sports sector which is in effect the central part of the crag is directly above the working quarry and the owners have asked that climbing be avoided on this sector during the working week (Mon to Fri up to 6pm) to minimise any risk of rock being dislodged onto workers below.

The landowner has asked not to access the crag from the left hand end (when facing the crag) as described in the Rockfax Northern Limestone guidebook. He advised this was due to a fence and wall getting climbed over and damaged at the start of the Quarry Sector and also between the Sporadic Walls and Soft Centre, but from the right-hand end, via the footpath which runs around the north side of the quarry to Foredale. Then from the footpath walk up the fairly steep shoulder to the crag. See map

Deer Gallows – Meet Report 13-08-19

14th August 2019 by Andy Barton Leave a Comment

Ian & Roland (A successful thrutch up Deer Gallows Chimney)

It’s a long and boggy slog up to the crag, and the lichenous bloom and heathery ledges makes Deer Gallows a less than inspiring destination nowadays. Nonetheless, a gallant five of us did what we could to honour the CMC’s reputation. Climbs include Left-hand Route (VD); Deer Gallows Chimney (VD); Wreath (VS) and Zig-Zag (MVS)
