Rakerigg Crag
Area Summary
A number of years ago - before bouldering was particularly prevalent - this crag was utilized in a novel way. Some climbers manufactured/improved holds out of some sort of resin, replicating the crux's of hard trad projects of the time. In its modern state many of the resin holds have deteriorated of their own regard or been removed intentionally so climbers could send the relevant line on the original natural holds. A number of the lines (as far as we know) have yet to be re-climbed since the demise of all or some of the manufactured holds, with the line marked as problem 7 on the topo being the most obvious example of this.
The crag is around three times as long as the section represented in the topo, with most of the face having an excellent grassy landing. There are plenty of decent lines, obvious eliminates, and traverses not listed here. If you do anything particularly good let us know...
