Carrock Fell

Area Summary

Quietly nestling on the Eastern flank of a remote North lakeland fellside lies a truly magical boulderering paradise. Countless huge monoliths stand like the forgotten ruins of some ancient civilization, and they provide problems of such perfection that it is as they were crafted solely for this purpose. We have Mother Nature to thank for that, but Man did his bit as well by building a road that runs the length of the hillside and reduces most approaches to a matter of seconds and puts the crag 15 minutes from either the M6 or the tourist fleshpot of Keswick. The rock is fine-grained Gabbro of the highest quality, and the problems are of all grades.
