A good selection of problems and micro-routes on a popular Ilkley Moor footpath, near Swastika Stones.

Approach: Start as for Swastika Stones/High Crag. Continue along the footpath (the Millennium Way) until the crag can be seen jutting out of the hillside just below the path. If you reach a silver gate you?ve gone too far.

Attach yourself to the headwall (a high small hold and a low undercut) and slap the shelf. Hold it together for the top.

The wall without the arete. A long move for the top.

Link the slopers up the centre of the wall. High but the landing is decent. E2 6a.

The undercut boulder behind the main crag. Come on a showery day for the full experience.

Sit start. Get established on the face and pop for the top. Short but satisfying.

Make the easy traverse along the back of the cave, assume the position and repeat Popper.
