About Blea Rigg

Blea Rigg offers a wild, dispersed mountain cragging experience on rugged volcanic rock high above Easedale Tarn. The crag consists of several broken buttresses facing east, catching early morning sunlight but falling into shade by mid-afternoon. Altitude and open exposure mean high winds and mountain rain linger in the gullies, making clear summer weather preferred for visits. The route selection favors mid-grade traditional climbing, with routes following steep ribs, natural crack lines, and mountainous ridges. Central Buttress and Gryphon offer remote, adventurous climbing on sound rock far removed from valley crowds. The approach demands a long sixty-minute fell walk up from Grasmere, following trackways past Easedale Tarn. Navigating between scattered buttresses on the return trip can prove tricky in thick mountain mist.
