Healaugh Crag, aka Crag Willas, is a small grit edge and collection of boulders on the west side of Great Pinseat in Swaledale, North Yorkshire. There are some good boulder problems and short routes here, but it is the remote location high above Swaledale that makes a visit so worthwhile - the scenery is stunning. The crag is described in the North of England guide. For access details and directions consult either the North of England guide, or the Smartboys website.

A big slab beneath the left end of the main edge (looking in). Plenty of good problems, some of which feel high and scary.

Start at a deep pocket and climb up to the left of the scoop. Scary.
