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.

Weather forecast for Tuesday is good so this meet is on. The crag has routes to suit a range of abilities so here’s hoping for a good turn out.
Parking is on the side of the A591 near Legburthwaite, I think the P&D car park in legburthwaite woods is still closed, but anywaay roadside is free!I am planning to be there by 4 o’clock on Tuesday
If you require any further information or just want to let me know you are coming please do not reply to this email but email me directly at markward1962@gmail.com or txt/WhatsApp to 07500155064

Well the KMC was greated with light winds and warm spring sunshine in which to relish the delights of Castle rock. Turnout was high, thanks to Matt A, Mike Weighal, Mike Walker, Robyn, Cath S, Steve and Kath P,Andy B, Brendan, Jamie, Ros, Josh, Scott, Steve Dixon, Mike K, Stuart K, Jon T, David W, Dave Absalam and Jonny who joined me for a lovely evenings climbing. Some short waits were necessary due to the weight of traffic but the usual routes got well trampled with Slab Climb, Lilleth, Wall Climb, Gangway, Kleine Rinne, Yew tree climb, Gazebo and Via Media all getting a good shoeing.
Apologies if I have missed any attendees or spectacular ascents, its not personal I was trying to climb whilst noting who was there and what they were doing!Forecast is good for Saturday, Grey crag is a corker so lets do it all again…..woo hoo
Cheers
Mark
