Burbage North & South

GritstoneFaces WtradboulderingMod to E7 / f8A

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.

Freely-licensed photographs taken at or near the crag. Rock changes less than websites do, but check the date — an approach can silt up or a path can be diverted.
