NY6121 : Main wall, Jackdaws' Scar, Kings Meaburn
taken 16 years ago, near to King's Meaburn, Cumbria, England
Main wall, Jackdaws' Scar, Kings Meaburn
Known to climbers as "Kings Meaburn" this crag rises above the River Lyvennet here attaining a height of about 15m. They are unusual from a climbing perspective in that two rock-types can be experienced on one route - the lower 2 or 3 metres are sandstone and the upper sections are limestone. The transition is clearly seen as a prominent horizontal bedding plane just above Ali. The limestone tends to overhang and unfortunately, this has led to some quite large blocks falling off on some of the climbs.
