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. 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. Reach the crag base via a five-minute flat walk along the Monsal Trail from the Miller's Dale car park.
