Popular crags
-
Stanage Popular
The most famous stretch of the longest gritstone edge in the Peak, and arguably the busiest crag in Britain. Impeccable natural gritstone with cracks, slabs and rounded breaks at every grade, steeped in climbing history. The classic ticks here form the backbone of most UK trad apprenticeships.
-
Stanage Plantation
The connoisseur's sector of Stanage, home to soaring aretes and some of the finest hard gritstone routes and boulder problems anywhere. The boulder field below the edge is a world-class venue in its own right. Catches afternoon sun and dries almost instantly.
-
Burbage North & South
Twin gritstone edges lining the pretty Burbage valley just outside Sheffield. The North end is a friendly venue stacked with low and mid-grade cracks, while the South end and its quarries hold fierce test-pieces and a dense concentration of quality bouldering. Quick-drying and a reliable evening venue.
-
Froggatt Edge
A beautiful wooded gritstone edge famous for immaculate slab climbing. Home to some of the most photographed pieces of rock in the Peak, from the Pinnacle to the bold padding test-pieces that defined a generation of gritstone slab climbing. Sheltered, quick-drying and pleasant even in winter sun.
-
Curbar Edge
Froggatt's burlier neighbour, with taller buttresses, wider cracks and a reputation for stern struggles. The scene of many landmark ascents in gritstone history, from brutal off-widths to bold modern head-points. Faces west for afternoon sun and dries in minutes.
-
Millstone Edge
The finest quarried gritstone in the Peak, a series of clean-cut bays above Surprise View with soaring crack lines named after London streets. Once a peg-climbing venue, its blank walls and perfect cracks now give some of the best jamming and boldest wall climbs on grit. Tall by gritstone standards, up to 20m.
