BETA PHOTO: The Main Face of High Tor


Description 

The sheet of perfect limestone dominates the cliff. It is hard to find a better collection of routes in the 5.11+ range.

The wall is steep and overhanging in places and all the climbs require good technique and stamina to guarantee success.


Getting There 

Walk along the base of the cliff to reach this face.
