About Neckband Crag

Neckband Crag perches high at the head of Mickleden on the flanks of Bowfell, offering some of the cleanest single-pitch trad rock in the whole of Langdale. The northerly aspect makes this a poor early-season choice — the crag has a well-earned reputation for slow drying and stays shaded and cold outside of high summer — but comes into its own on hot midsummer days when south-facers are baking. The approach is a steady 1 hour 15 minutes up The Band from the Old Dungeon Ghyll, sharing the same walk-in as Bowfell Buttress.
