The North Crag is a towering wall seamed with long grooves and ramps which holds a selection of classic multi-pitch lines that are both steep and sustained. Unfortunately the left-hand side of the North Crag suffered a large rockfall in 2018 that wiped out some routes; those that remain have been reclimbed and the rock is mostly stable although care is still needed.
The South Crag is a far friendlier spot that gets lots of sun.
Approach notes
Park at Legburthwaite carpark (fee). Take the path opposite the toilets and over the road to a field. Walk up the field a short way to a track.
For the North Crag, walk left along the track to a gate and then up next to the fence to reach a water culvert. Cross the small bridge and head up to below the cliff.
For the South Crag, cross the track and take a well-defined path up the field and over a water culvert and wall to the base of the cliff.

Hi everyone
The weather forecast is showing potential for rain earlier in the day and drying up by 4pm so looks like it will be ok for our Tuesday meet at Castle Rock. I will check again tomorrow and update if it changes for the worst otherwise I’m aiming to be at the car park below the crag for 4pm.
I’m travelling from St Bees so anyone wanting to lift share from Cockermouth at about 3.00 pm please let me know via e-mail rosdefraine@btinternet.com or text 07734471241 or WhatsApp the group.
Hope to see you there

Hi everyone
The forecast is a bit mixed but we’re planning to go ahead with the meet today. It might be best not to get to the crag until after 4:30pm to give any drizzle time to clear.
Myself, Judith, Jonathan C and Mark M are planning to set off from Cockermouth at 4pm.
Please car share where you can. Do contact me via email rosdefraine@ btinternet.com or 07734471241 to let me know you’re coming or with any queries.
Hope you see you there.

Well, what a fantastic evening climbing we had last night!
Despite the threatening clouds and generally soggy nature of the rest of Cumbria 19 club members ventured out onto excellent rock which was bone dry. At one point even the sun showed it’s face.
I think almost every route on the South crag was climbed. Some ventured to investigate the North crag but decided against a struggle with moss and loose rock.
Members present as follows; (please forgive me if I’ve missed you or misspelled your name)
Dave H, Jonathan T, Jonathan c, Judith, Geriant, Mark M, Andy, Richard, Aileen, Ann S, Martin, Mike, Pete, Josh, Mike, Brendon, Jamie, Mark and Ros
The usual suspects ended the evening with a beer at the Dog and Gun.
Thanks for a great evening everyone! ?
