Humphrey Head is a prominent limestone coastal promontory jutting directly into Morecambe Bay near Grange-over-Sands. The rock is hard, polished Carboniferous limestone featuring steep pocketed faces, sharp edges, and small roof roofs. Facing west over the vast estuarine mudflats, the crag catches afternoon sun and dries very quickly due to constant sea breezes. The climbing consists of short, steep sport climbs and traditional routes concentrated in the French 6th and 7th grades. Classic sport lines provide fun, technical climbing above a safe saltmarsh and shingle base. The approach takes under ten minutes along flat coastal paths directly from the end of the public road. While the crag base is non-tidal, tidal bores in the bay move extremely fast across the surrounding sands.
