Yes Tor is one of Dartmoor's highest points, offering high-altitude granite tor climbing and bouldering near Okehampton. The rock character consists of coarse, crystalline granite with positive quartz crimps, deep horizontal breaks, and weathered face features. Facing all directions across summit outcrops, aspect varies, and high elevation ensures heavy wind exposure that dries open rock fast after rain. The climbing focuses on short traditional routes and boulder problems from Severe up to lower E-grades, led by Yes Tor Wall. The approach requires a sustained forty-five minute uphill hike along military tracks from the Rowtor car park. High altitude weather changes and military firing range closures must be checked before visiting.
