Jenny Binks Boulders Jenny Binks Boulders

Climbs - 20 Altitude 370m Faces South

Other condition info: A fine, quite high wall of perfect grit that is very Slipstones like and faces south in a fine position overlooking the valley and moors up the valley past Brown Beck Crag. There is also a collection of good boulders. Landings are flat but a couple of mats are recommended as some problems are high. Check for shooting restrictions before a visit.

NOTE – This valley is home to adders. You are unlikely to see one but take care when walking in early in the day when they might be found sunning themselves on the path.

Parking and approach info: Park as for Slipstones and follow the track to the gate. The narrow moorland path that is used to access Brown Beck Crag branches off the main path here. Follow it up the valley, passing Brown Beck and keep going past the obvious prow of Hanging Stones. Once the crag/boulders come into view choose a line up to another path that contours below Hanging Stones and across to the lower boulders (passing some smaller boulders on the way). An easy hour’s walk.
