Grid_ref_UK = SD630580Wolfhole Crag is a lonely and seldom-visited hill in the
Forest of Bowland inLancashire ,England . Its seclusion is due in part to its low profile and long approach walks. A long path approaches fromWard's Stone in the west which is fraught with bogs. Anothertarmac path fromTarnbrook meets this half way. A final path comes from the north east from the Hornby Road in the direction to White Hill. The summit consists of two large (10m high) buttresses of gritstone some unusually shaped waist-high rocks and the usualtrig point . The buttresses contain a number of recorded rock climbs, including the two furthest "hard grit" routes (E7 & E6) from the road in the entire UK. Both climbs were ascended in 2001 by Neil Kershaw and Greg Chapman.It’s quite possible to not see another human being all day there.
