About Cratcliffe Tor

Secluded woodland gritstone tor above Birchover — quieter than the edges and more sheltered, so slower to dry. Unique atmosphere with carved hermit's cave. Classics: Suicide Wall (E1), Owl Gully (VD). Above the woodland the main tor's tiers are pristine, sandy-coloured walls with deep pockets and clean cracks; south-facing and quick to dry, they make an outstanding winter gritstone venue. Other classics include Five Finger Exercise (E1 5b) and Fern Hill (HVS 5a), alongside the powerful bouldering testpieces on the Hermit's Cave boulders below. High summer temperatures can make the south-facing rock too greasy for optimal friction.

Region: Peak District
Rock type: Gritstone
Aspect: south-facing
Altitude: 280m
Exposure: low
Seepage: low
