About Ash Head Crags(OS):
| Use caution when climbing here during grouse season, the crag is located on a grouse shooting moor. This 30 to 50 foot gritstone crag has about 20 routes from SEVERE to the low EXTREME grades. Thunder Crack, which goes through the main overhang, is actually only VS. Worth a visit on a sunny day, can be cold because it is at 1300 feet above sea level and exposed to cold north winds. |
