Stirrup Stones

Area Summary

Situated on the North East facing slopes of Yewbarrow fell in the valley of Wasdale, the Stirrup Stones are an excellent collection of around seven large blocks in a beautiful mountain setting, commanding superb views of Gable and the Scafell crags. The rock is mountain rhyolite, although its consistency changes a great deal between each boulder, with some being a smooth slate like composition and others much more abrasive. There is a good spread of grades from 4/V0 to 7b/V8 with a few notable projects still to do.
