About Twisleton Scars
Twisleton Scars is a famous, long limestone escarpment stretching along the slopes of Ingleborough above Ingleton. The rock consists of pristine gray limestone offering long horizontal terraces, sharp water-worn limestone pavements, and clean vertical walls. Facing southwest with magnificent views, the crag catches afternoon sun and dries swiftly in prevailing upland breezes. The venue is renowned for introductory and intermediate traditional climbing, packed with high-quality routes from Diff to HVS. Famous classics like Twisleton Wall provide ideal mountain-trad experiences. Reach the crag via a 20-minute uphill walk along public footpaths from Ingleton. Open limestone pavement surroundings demand care to avoid twisting ankles on approach.
