About Bowfell Buttress(OS):

The classic crag of the area. Northeast facing with about 20 routes around Diff to Severe, with the odd Extreme, 200 to 350 feet tall. All routes well worth doing. A very impressive high mountain crag which needs a stretch of good weather, a must in anyone's climbing resume.
