About Wallowbarrow Crag

Wallowbarrow Crag is the Duddon Valley's most popular climbing venue, a broad, sunny south-facing cliff of rough Borrowdale volcanic rock rising above the wooded confluence of the Duddon and Tarn Beck opposite Seathwaite village. The southerly aspect combined with modest altitude and open exposure mean the crag is one of the fastest-drying mountain venues in the western Lakes — though some vegetated lines and lower slabs can hold dampness after prolonged rain. Approach is roughly 45 minutes from Seathwaite via the Wallowbarrow footbridge.
