Rock climbing is a popular activity in the Peak District; particularly on edges such as Stanage or Froggatt.
Climbing has been practised in the Peak District since the late 19th century; James W. Puttrell is generally credited with starting the sport.
[1] One of the most famous Peak District climbers, and a pioneer of many new routes, is Ron Fawcett.
The climb is graded E7 6c and rises 19m up the near vertical edge.
[2] The gritstone crags include: Western Grit (Staffordshire, Kinder, Bleaklow, and the Chew Valley) Eastern Grit (Derwent Valley, Sheffield, Derbyshire) In-situ bolts and pitons are more acceptable on limestone and some crags are almost exclusively bolted.
