Almscliffe
Climbing has been limited!
https://www.thebmc.co.uk/modules/RAD/ViewCrag.aspx?id=465
The crag is on privately owned land and is not designated as open access. This means that it's very important that climbers look after the crag and behave well to maintain a good relationship with the farmer and the currently excellent access we enjoy.
03.11.2016:
The farmer has recently asked for Almscliffe to not be used as a nightime/lamping venue and the BMC asks climbers to respect his wishes.
