DESCRIPTION OF ROUTE:
We decided to cross the border in search of sunshine, we left early in the morning and after battling through traffic eventually arrived at the crag just after 10am. This was the last week of the mountain month, and the aim of today was for us to be comfortable working as a climbing pair and being able to turn up to a crag and climb. We wanted to get as many climbs in as possible so it was all about quick and efficient climbing, we took it in turns to lead the route and then abseil off down and then collect the gear when we topped out on the next route and repeated until we ran out of daylight. This was a great day, this was the first time I had climbed on grit stone and could feel myself improving throughout the day, we where lucky to meet a photography during our visit who was kind enough to take some pictures of us while we climbed.
Area :
Peak District Grit: Stanage Edge
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.
