The Duddon Valley Fantastic cragging throughout the valley covering all grades. And there has been plenty of recent developments: http://www.frcc.co.uk/rock/newroutes/index.htm See Mark Glaisters article on UKC: http://www.ukclimbing.com/articles/page.php?id=120 More nearby crags Dow crag - accessible in under an hour. Classic mountain crag with massive range of grades/routes.  Peter Metcalfe on Botterill's slab Some wise words: "Probably the best crag in the Lakes, it has classic routes at every grade. The notoriety that this crag is cold comes from those idiots who insist on starting their routes in shorts and t-shirts. Always carry (and wear!) an extra sweater."
