About Britten Crag:

A large number of crags all within walking distance of each other, there are about 240 routes. The routes are mainly bolted. the easier ones may require some natural gear the harder ones are sport climbs. Drive to the end of Major Hornbrook road and park, then walk over the hill and the crags are clearly visable from there.
Approach: Park on Longridge Rd, at the entrance to the John Britten Reserve (not yet signposted, but obvious stile). Go through the farm gate (leave as found), and head down the paddock slope. Trending left, you will hit a well traveled sheep/human track about 50m from the old stone wall.
