About Greator Rocks

Greator Rocks are a scenic set of granite tor outcrops situated on the open moorland opposite Hound Tor near Widecombe-in-the-Moor. The stone character features rough, high-friction Dartmoor granite with rounded sloper mantels, crisp quartz edges, and horizontal wiring breaks. Facing various directions across open moorland, finding sun or shade is easy throughout the day. The venue is popular for both bouldering and short traditional climbs from Moderate up to lower E-grades, featuring lines like Greator Arete. The approach involves a twenty-minute walk along moorland paths from the Hound Tor car park across the valley floor. Open elevation ensures rapid drying following rain fronts.
