A safer option
By Roger Dyke
I'd always thought of Ramshaw as a place for those who could confidently lead HVS and above, but it has a secret - very, very easy bouldering.
Round the "back" of the outcrop (ie the west side) are no end of easy- angled slabs and rounded mantelshelves and all sorts, in a relatively safe environment. And they are in the sun most of the day.
Much better than Burbage for a little kid's first day out.
With the caution that there are few belays - and it is best not to fall down the east face.
A good layby to park in - spaces on a sunny Sunday afternoon in June.
A short walk to the rock, and lots of picnic places.
