Ergonomic Buttress

Character

This is the obvious buttress slightly downstream from Ravens Tor in Miller’s Dale and on the opposite bank. It has a clutch of steep roof-type climbs with one gentler wall in between.

Approach

Park as for Ravens Tor and walk down the road to the first bridge across the river. The cliff is on the opposite bank
