About Burbage North
Burbage North is a long, continuous tier of gritstone running along the upper eastern crest of the Burbage Valley. The rock is rough, solid, and featured with breaks, jam cracks, and clean slabs. Its southwest aspect ensures it receives ample sunlight from midday onwards, and its open exposure allows wind to dry the rock within minutes of a rain shower. The crag is exceptionally popular across all skill levels, offering an abundance of gentle routes from Moderate to VS alongside classic boulder problems. Iconic climbs like Ash Tree Wall and Banana White draw steady crowds throughout the year. Reach the crag via a flat five-minute walk directly from the Upper Burbage car park. The most crucial factor for visitors is parking availability, as the car parks fill up extremely fast on dry weekends.
