About Slipstones

Slipstones is a celebrated North Yorkshire gritstone venue, offering immaculate quality rock across a compact collection of outcrops and isolated boulders set high on Masham Moor. The rock character is firm, coarse-grained fellstone grit, presenting clean sloper mantels, sharp arêtes, and signature fluted scoops. Facing due south at a high, exposed moorland altitude, the crag catches maximum available sunlight and dries rapidly following rainfall, aided by strong upland winds. The climbing style is overwhelmingly bouldering and highballing, catering to all abilities with an exceptional concentration of mid-to-high grade classics like Hugh's Roof and Fluted Arete. Access involves a pleasant fifteen-minute walk along established moorland paths starting from the laybys on the high road between Masham and Coverdale. The single most important consideration for visitors is environmental and land-use respect; avoiding climbing after heavy rain protects fragile gritstone holds, while staying on paths prevents moorland erosion.
