About Troller's Gill
Troller's Gill is a dark, narrow limestone gorge carved by Skyreholme Beck near Appletreewick. The rock character consists of sheer, water-scoured limestone walls with deep crevices, polished holds, and atmospheric mossy corners. With opposing gorge walls facing east and west, direct sunlight is brief, and high humidity keeps the gorge damp long after rain. The climbing is adventurous trad climbing mainly ranging from Severe to E4, featuring routes like Troller's Wall. Reach the gorge via a 20-minute walk along river footpaths from Appletreewick. Flash flooding and persistent seepage after heavy rainfall make dry summer weather critical for visiting.
