Bowden Doors

This splendid open crag dries extremely quickly which, coupled with its proximity to the road and the low rainfall makes it a most valuable climbing ground.

The majority of climbs are steep and often technically difficult. The rock is Fell Sandstone and varies in hardness across the crag. In many parts it is easily damaged and top roping and abseiling should not be practised.

We only have the rock once so please look after it.

Please refrain from climbing until the rock is properly dry - the sandstone becomes brittle after rain.
