Huntsham Crags

The nearest thing you'll get to gritstone without going to the Peak District. Only 30 minutes by car across the Severn and you can reach some really impressive conglomerate. Not quite the Peak, as the pebbles seem to be fist size, but it's has all the usual features of slopers and nice jamming cracks. I'd really recommend it, although it is hard to navigate around the many buttresses through dense forest.

A great route in a great area, if you can find it. Perhaps spoilt by being broken in two by a ledge, although the top half is superb. The rightward slanting crack finishes on an arete with great positions and excellent holds.
