The curiously named Fairies Chest is a collection of large boulders on the edge of Barden Moor, just north of Crookrise. It's not very extensive, but there are a handful of good problems. This combined with its proximity to Crookrise and Hellifield Crag makes it well worth a visit.
There are two groups of boulders - the main area next to the path, and a smaller group a few hundred yards to the east.
The Main Boulders
The most striking boulder here is the huge rectangular block with a sharp arete. There is another, bigger boulder nearby, with a mini-edge behind them.

Unnamed Boulder
A huge boulder with climbing on all sides.
The Eastern Boulders
Less extensive than the main group, and the rock isn't the best, but worth a visit. The slabby wall in the gully has an excellent technical problem up the scoop on the left-hand side. The opposite wall has a nice 5/5+ past a big undercut. There is scope for more problems on the front face of the pinnacle, but nothing major.
