Brandrith Crag is a secluded gritstone outcrop set on high moorland above Washburn Valley. The rock quality is excellent gritstone featuring bold arêtes, clean horizontal breaks, and friction slabs. Facing south across open heather moors, the crag catches full sunshine and dries rapidly after rain showers. The climbing focuses on friendly traditional routes and bouldering, primarily spanning Diff to E2. Classic lines like Brandrith Wall showcase pleasant movement on sound rock. Reach the crag via a 20-minute moorland hike from Blubberhouses car parks. Upland moorland exposure demands weather-appropriate gear.
