Marty at Stanage |
| Date: 04 06 06 Submitted by: Martin Mc Guigan Marty and Aoife took a day off work in Manchaster to go and see what this grit stone was like. Stanage Edge runs for 4 KM but a lot of that is not worth looking at. I was surprised at the height of it; mostly from 10 to 25 metres. But the Grit stone is very nice to the touch. We wandered along about 2KM and it looks like a climbers playground. Good parking , easy access and all the routes you would want. Aoife had no gear so I soloed about six routes of VD to S on The Grotto Slab. The sun hits it most of the day and that attracts BIG crowds of climbers. I will be back. |
