Stoney Wicks

O.S. Sheet 93 NGR NZ528003

Aspect South East

Altitude 310m

Approach time 20 minutes

 

Situation and Character

This small outcrop is 200m east of the Virgin Buttress, Barkers Crags, Scugdale. The height is small, up to 5m but this compact stretch of rock gives numerous boulder problems on a harder and rougher rock than the rest of Scugdale.
