Great for climbers and walkers. Spot the discarded millstones from hundreds of years ago.

Froggatt Edge is frequented by rock climbers and hillwalkers throughout the year. Joe Brown popularised two well-known classic routes in the late 1940s, Sunset Slab (HVS 4b) and Three Pebble Slab (HVS 5a). Whilst the climbing is not difficult, a fall from either climb (particularly Sunset Slab) would result in injuries. One of the best-known climbs at Froggatt Edge is "Downhill Racer", a smooth and near-vertical 17 m (50 ft) slab of gritstone. It was first climbed in 1977 by Pete Livesey and represented a breakthrough in that it combined difficulty with real danger: there is no suitable crack in the rock in which to place protection (to anchor a rope), so a climber who slips from the small finger holds will hit the ground. It is now graded E4 6a. Climbing approaches Froggatt Edge is considered the second most popular between the Eastern Edges. Due to its position the edge avoids the worst of the weather. Froggatt is famous for its slabs, but it also has a good amount of climbs including cracks.There are two usual approaches for climbing: the first one is from the parking on the B6045 located close to the Grouse Inn. 328 ft (100m) before the Froggatt Pinnacle is located the first section of the edge. There are a total of 472 climbs, the type of rock is gritstone, the edge is facing West and the altitude is 862 ft (263m).[1] The beginning of the most common approach is located 1640,42 ft (500m) South of the Grouse Inn at White Gate.[2

Another rock climbing haven which is situated just a few miles from Northwood Sojourn. With rock climbing routes to cater for all abilities this is another gorgeous place in the Peak District to climb the gritstone crags of Derbyshire.

Stunning views along Frogatt Edge and all Edges along this contour: Curbar, Baslow, Stanage and Bamford. Look on the OS map to create your own circular walks.
