About Raven Tor

World-class hard sport in Millers Dale. Main wall is massively overhanging so sheds rain well, but the dale is sheltered and cool — allow 48h after heavy rain. Home to Hubble (9a) and Mutation (8c+). The rock is extremely compact, overhanging limestone presenting smooth barrels, tufa drips, and microscopic edge features. Facing due north, the crag stays in perpetual shade — cool air temperatures in summer, but severe seepage that can leave routes damp for weeks in winter and early spring. The venue caters almost exclusively to intermediate and elite sport climbers, with grades starting around 7a and extending up to world-class 9a benchmark testpieces including the historic Revelations. Reach the crag base via a five-minute flat walk along the Monsal Trail from the Miller's Dale car park.
