The grip on the grit today is awesome, it's like Velcro. The cool wind is helping dry the rock giving it that super tactile feel.
Heading up from the car park towards the woodland area, beyond this is the Plantation. Commonly known as (Stanage Plantation) this area has seen some of the best names in climbing over the years. Ben Moon, Ron Fawcett, Johnny Dawes to name but a few.
First target of the day, the lone Boulder. Route choice varies from 4+ to 6a. Slab to overhang routes, great features and a great start to any trip out.
Gear up time..
Below is a video of the day's journey. Sometimes is not all about the climbing, but on occasions it's nice to see the start of the journey. So I've put together a video of the route taken through the fabulous Peak District National Park, arriving at Stanage and the walk up to the bouldering area. We hope you enjoy the video and find yourself compelled to book on one of our courses at,

Watch and realise the possibilities. Climbing is about many things, one is the surroundings and all it has to offer. Please enjoy and share.
