Cumrew crag

This crag is a small part-quarried outcrop of generally compact limestone on the west side of Cumrew Fell, with a superb view over the Lower Eden Valley and Solway Firth beyond. The crag was developed by members of the Eden Valley Mountaineering Club in the 1970’s and 1980’s and is comprised of 29 trad and bouldering routes. The trad routes range from V.Diff to E2 and the bouldering grades range from V0 to V5. Further details about this crag are featured in the FRCC Guidebook called Eden Valley and South Lakes Limestone.
