Alderman
Alderman is a pleasant venue to spend a couple of hours in Chew, the aspect on the whole is very sunny apart perhaps from very late on a summers evening. There are some impressive pieces of rock with slabs, walls and aretes on heavily pebble studded rock. There are plenty of easier grade problems and highballs with the odd hard one thrown in. Be gentle with those pebbles and be wary of some of the landings. Could be easily combined with Oven Stones for a longer day.
Approach: park at Binn Green car park about 1 1/2 miles up the A635 from Greenfield to Holmfirth. The crag can be seen on the left, up the steep hill on the opposite side of the road from the car park. Go through the gate and through the first stile on your right, follow the path immediately left round the brow of the hill. When you reach the wall, follow the path up its right hand side up the hill. Think of your quads and how great it will be for your alpine training. The climbs are described from left to right as you approach the middle of the crag. Approx 15 minutes. Alternatively you could park at Upperwood layby on the A635 Greenfield-Holmfirth road. From here follow the path through the gate up and onto the moor.
