About Hound Tor

Exposed. Classic Dartmoor granite — Suspension Flake is the must-do VS. Scattered towers of coarse, heavily featured granite with crisp edges, slopers, quartz pockets, and immaculate vertical crack systems. Facing all cardinal directions, finding sun or shelter is easy. Beyond the flake, classics include Aerosol (E2 5c), Suspicion (E1 5b), The Sentinel (VS 4c), and the hard test Black Magic (E5 6a). Year-round if dry; approach is a ten-minute uphill walk from the roadside laybys near Hound Tor Down.
