Eavestones – a jungle worth exploring

May 30th, 2009 by rob s

Simon on The HeelSimon C and I had a top day out at Eavestones, just past Brimham, a crag in a most beautiful setting with lakes and trees and rhodies and wildlife a plenty – luckily no midges !

The routes are mainly on scattered buttresses which have some clean lines, many green and some that have been reclaimed by the encroaching jungle – shame as they look good. The range of *** routes is from S to E3 so something for most, and a few starred VD thrown in for good measure.

We managed a 3 S/HS (Portcullis, The Heel, The Taper) and a brace of HVS's (Wedgewood, Eavesdropper) and about 10 stars in all

A truly lovely place to seek out and explore, but take a brush and don't go if it's too midgy!
