Calf Crag consists of two large boulders in the middle of nowhere near Thruscross reservoir in North Yorkshire. It justifies its existence with a superb and suprisingly easy roof problem, along with half a dozen harder, but less impressive, problems. The rock is still very dirty despite being cleaned - bring a brush.

Topo Expand The Roof Boulder

The main feature of the left-hand boulder is a huge projecting roof. The back of the boulder is long and low, and has potential for several hard sit-start problems.

Start using the big undercut and a nipple over the top, and go straight up.
