A collection of nice boulders of clean, silver moorland grit on the hillside near Hebden in North Yorkshire. There is lots of industrial archaeology to see on the walk up. From the crag there are views of towards Air Scar and Bardon Moor to the South and trackless moors to the North. Marked as Bolton Haw on the map; when you?ve seen the ?spires?, discovered the carvings and felt the kiss of the kind winds, you?ll get the name. A true high place.

Unnamed Boulder
Between the first boulder and Knobbly boulder.
Knobbly Boulder
Just around the bay is a well featured overhanging block. Various eliminates are possible. Grittier rock, but good.
The Big Sloping Boulder
Perfect silver grit and it?s massive - they feel like routes. Inspite of the easy angle, it?s got all the atmosphere of those first climbs you ever did on gritstone. A good place for beginners.
Arete Boulder
Just beside the big slopping boulder. Only three, but three good ones.
Ben's Boff
A little pyramidal boulder hidden away along the edge.
Roof Boulder
A good little boulder with a big roof.
