Crag of the day: Alderley Edge

New Topic
This topic has been archived, and won't accept reply postings.
Every day we choose a new 'Crag of the day' from the database of all the crags in the UK.

We don't choose the best or most popular crags, or even crags where it will be dry today! The main point it to get people talking about each crag - what there is to climb there, good points, bad points, any access problems, etc. If you spot any mistakes, or if you have any comments about the crag or photos of climbing there, please send them in!

FeaturesLots of stand alone boulder problems throughout this whole area. Grading and adding these would be helpful as to add to the route listings.

From the carpark head NE and you will come to a fenced in mine. There are some hard problems to be done here although the rock is a bit dusty.

AccessTake the B5087 from Alderley Edge to Macclesfield for about 2 miles to a carpark on the left

(This has a height barrier but the lane just before on the right has laybys)
