Palleys Crags are a collection of boulders on the moorland just off the Greenhow to Thruscross road in North Yorkshire. Its unpopularity with boulderers is well deserved, with only a handful of problems and gritty rock. However it's a very pleasant place, and one of the problems is actually very good.

The right arete of the crack is excellent - easily the best problem here, although slightly artificial (avoid the left wall of the arete).

The centre of the wall from an undercut. A rubbishy problem, with no slapping involved whatsoever.

The right arete, climbed on the left, might be much better if it were clean.
