Wolfhole Crag

Wolfhole Crag is an isolated and seldom-visited hill in the Forest of Bowland in Lancashire, England. It has an elevation of Template:Cvt and a prominence of Template:Cvt.<ref name=dbih /> Its seclusion is due in part to its low profile and long approach walks. The East crag has a 'Wolf hole' at the base of the south-facing side, presumably how it originally gained the name. Wolfhole Crag marks the northwesternmost boundary of the civil parish of Bowland Forest High, the historic Forest of Bowland, and the Lordship of Bowland.
A long path approaches from Ward's Stone in the west which is fraught with bogs. Another tarmac path from Tarnbrook meets this halfway. A final path comes from the northeast 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 usual trig point. The buttresses contain a number of recorded rock climbs, including the two farthest "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 is quite possible to not see another human being all day there.
