Simply the finest crag on grit with well over 1000 routes of all grades and styles. The most popular of climbing areas in the UK with a huge number of classic routes. We have split the area into the same divisions as used for UKC logbooks, namely Stanage Popular, Stanage Plantation and Stanage North. Bouldering activities should be entered into the 'Outdoor Bouldering' section of DLOG. Routes on other gritstone crags, such as Burbage North, should be added to the relevant Area as noted in the Area titles.
After hurting my thumb whilst bringing debs up on Button Wall, I wasn’t looking for anything strenuous, but was taking a lot of time deciding what to do next before the weather closed in. We chose cool grove as we were nearby and it was free (lots of climbers around).
