Approach & access

Best to park in the large car park in Castleton, especially during busy periods (holidays, weekends etc.). During quieter periods it may be possible to park a little closer and save yourself 5 mins walking. Most buttresses are pretty obvious. For Hole Dancer go up the steep hill towards Keep Buttress then use the in-situ rope/wire fence to pull up the steep step. Drop down the other side of the little col for a few meters then the cave is on your left.
