Sean's Roof - Limestone
Description: Sean’s Roof is just 2 min drive from Raven Tor. From Sheffield, instead of turning left to go past the Angler’s Rest, continue to a large roadside cave on the left. This is Sean’s Roof. Park inside. Most of the problems are on the rock across the road. TOPO HERE: http://www.vimeo.com/groups/UKBouldering/view_file:4693
Access: There have been no reported access problems, but please be mindful that all crags in Blackwell Dale lie on private land. Several climbers have made an effort to remove rubbish dumped (probably by non climbers) at Sean's Roof. This seems a worthwhile practice to continue.
