1. Froggatt Edge 225 routes in Crag
- Summary:
-
Trad climbing and Bouldering
Lat / Long: 53.289871, -1.626258
summary
Good quality grit climbing combined with easy grades and a lot of slab, makes Froggat a popular peak crag.
description
Froggat edge is a long line of broken walls near the town of Froggat in the peak district. Many popular slabs can be found here, but may be serious affairs with a lack of protection. Other classic lines exist on crack and all shapes, well worth a day on grit.
approach
Park either at the top in the large carpark or look for a space in the small parking at the bottom. Avoid parking near the Checkers pub, this is private.
where to stay
Many options exist in the peak.
