Simon's Seat

A classic Yorkshire cliff - a true summit, miles from the road and north-facing. It's not all bad news though, there are some very pleasant routes on the sunny South Face and you will probably have the place to yourself. Simon's Seat is a brilliant place to escape the crowds - of climbers at least, I can't vouch for walkers. Beware falling orange peel and banana skins if climbing below the trig point.The classics of the North Face include some real belters, get the right day and a great time is assured here.
