About Goat Crag (Northumberland)

Goat Crag (Northumberland) is a compact Fell Sandstone venue featuring small, isolated buttresses and boulders set along a scenic hillside. The rock is high quality, offering clean, technical face climbing on small crimps and positive horizontal breaks. Positioned southwest at moderate elevation, the crag receives afternoon sunshine and dries fairly quickly under typical breezy conditions. The climbing style consists of short, technical traditional routes and low-level bouldering, mostly spanning the VS to E2 grade spectrum. Classic highlights include Goat Wall (VS 4c) and Billy's Route (HVS 5a). Reaching the crag involves a fifteen-minute walk across hill pastures and rough grass. The key rule at Goat Crag is respecting livestock; keep dogs on leads at all times and avoid climbing near grazing sheep during lambing season.
