The 4km long gritstone outcrop of Stanage Edge in the Peak District is one of the best and most popular rock climbing destinations in the UK.  The crag has routes typically 10 - 15m high, at all levels of difficulty.  The rock is perhaps the grippiest and most solid rock you will ever climb on - in 12 years of climbing at Stanage I've not once had a bit break off on me and the rock manages to not become too polished despite being popular with climbers for over a century!

The crag is a short walk from the road, 3 km from Hathersage and easily accessible from Sheffield, Manchester, Leeds and Nottingham.

To attend this event you will have climbed indoors (preferably with Outdoorlads) before and you will be competent with tying in with a figure 8 knot and belaying. If you do not have this experience, it will depend on the availability of suitably experienced leaders, as to whether you would be able to attend this event. If that is the case please message the event leader to discuss, before registering. 

The Plan will be to climb at the High Neb and Plantation areas of the extensive offerings at Stanage, and we will assemble at the car park that end, instead of our usual gathering place nearer the popular end. 

*** More places may become available nearer the event, depending on the availability of leaders ***

As you may have noticed we are putting on beginners' climbing events in the area throughout the Easter weekend, also at Lawrencefield Quarry (on sunday) and Burbage North (on monday).  You are welcome to sign up to all three events!  Those of us who are leading plan to stay at the North Lees campsite nearby.  Message the event leader if you would like to join us there.
