Ravensdale

A fine, tall, west-facing buttress that rises above the attractive wooded valley of Cressbrook Dale and has a good set of mid-grade climbs. The main face is Raven\'s Buttress, which sits high above the cottages. This has several fine climbs and a fair smattering of loose rock and ivy. For something less intimidating there is a good cluster of shorter climbs surrounding the impressive natural arch of the Flying Buttress area. Most of the worthwhile routes are reasonably clean and solid at present, although there may still be some loose rock, and some of the holds are very polished. Encroaching vegetation is an increasing problem.
