The Roaches
Gritstone Faces W tradbouldering Mod to E7 6c
The great gritstone escarpment of the Staffordshire moorlands, with two long tiers, the atmospheric Skyline and a wealth of quality bouldering. Rounded, sculpted rock gives everything from friendly V Diffs to fearsome roofs and bold modern slabs. One of the most complete venues on grit.
