Should be dry
  • Good temperature for mountain rhyolite
Raven Crag is a hugely popular, lower-altitude cliff overlooking the floor of Great Langdale, formed of sound, highly textured volcanic rock. Its open south-facing aspect ensures maximum sun exposure and exceptionally rapid drying times, making it a go-to venue when higher mountain crags remain damp. The grade range is remarkably broad, featuring excellent beginner climbs alongside classic mid-grade traditional routes and hard E-grade face problems. Historic climbs like Revelation and Original Route deliver spectacular wall climbing over solid, well-protectable rock. The approach takes a quick fifteen minutes along clear, stepped tracks from the valley floor. Due to its ease of access and sun-trap environment, popular lower-pitch stances can become congested on sunny weekend mornings.
