From a sit start climb the shapely but sandy blunt arete, past a sloping break to a top-out on the right.

The long curving rib above a dubious landing. The tricky pull on can be avoided by stepping in off a boulder.

Class one mover. Stuff in a toe jam and make hard reach/slap to the rail and easy finish.

On the foot of the cross buttress. From sitting climb the rib on nice holds.

Use the prominent 'moon' to get a hold on the lip. Move left on juggy rugosites to an airy finish.

More new stuff from last year 16.01.2010

Last Jon Fullwood cleaned and climbed lots of problems around Rylstone Cross. Here's two of them. Other people have been active here as well. It might be nice to document some of the bouldering around the main crag here as well - any takers?

Also here's a couple at Eldwick from Adi Gill.

Can I interest anyone in rearranging some of the pages on yorkshiregrit? I suspect Baildon and the main edge at Widdop, for example, are a mess. Eldwick too. I don't climb at these places so I haven't got a clue how the different areas relate to each other. And I'm never going to climb at them because Almscliff is so much closer.

Plaque Boulder, Eldwick
The left hand side of the buttress. Sit start from the back of the roof and climb directly through it, avoiding the plinth on the right. The key to the crux is in the name.

Climb the left arete of the south face of the boulder. The sitter (7b) starts at the obvious vertical slot hold.

Right of the evil crack is an obvious high scoop. From the base of the crack work up and right into the scoop and a precarious sloping topout.

The Climbing, Ilkley Buckstones
Nice overhang over the wall by the woods. Start on the apex of the arete, make a move rightwards, then a big rockover to finish.

This arete is on the path along the top of the crag just before the wall near the woods.
