The crag is at 366m and is a great way to look from above at the area. It's a view of two contrasts: to the south is Skipton and the green valley of Airdale; to the north is bleak and rough moorland peppered by equally rough reservoirs. Easy and well-established paths lead up here, so you will have joy!
