This small collection of boulder lies on the moors above Pateley Bridge, west of Guisecliff. There are a handful of nice problems, most of which take good lines including several good arete problems. The rock is similar to much of the rock at Brimham - ok but slightly gritty. There are two groups of boulders a short distance apart.

Approach from the road which leads south from Pateley Bridge past Guisecliff (see map). A good track leads to the boulders. The boulders marked on the OS map as Rowantree Crags are too small to be worth climbing; the problems described here lie slightly further on.

These problems lie on the group of boulders furthest from the road.

The next arete to the right is good.

Traverses the break on the undercut boulder from right to left. Start on good holds in the gully, traverse left around the arete to finish up the left arete.

The undercut, slabby arete.
