Owler Tor - Gritstone
Description: A small circuit of small but pleasant problems. There are no wildly inspiring lines, but there are some excellent moves and nice holds, with the Spider Crack block being the main focus of attention, and Golden Arete being perhaps the best problem there. Olwer Tor is situated on top of a hill and can dry fast after rain.
Access: None.
