UKC

hi im looking for super long traverses around the peak district. my aim is for me and my climbing partner to try and do every super long traverse in the peak district and after that maybe all of the long ones in the UK. thankyou in advance for any infomation you can provide.

You could try the coastline traverse. Or more easily http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/c.php?i=201431

Chee Tor Girdle VS -
Alcasan E2 - Stoney - good route in it's own right
Monster Traverse E3 - Horseshoe - more like F6b/+, longest trav in Peak (except Stanage) ?
Aplomb E1 - Plum Buttress Cheedale - awesome exposure
Lichen E2- Chatsworth - not actually done it but looks fun. rumours of a huge machine nut you can clip with a big crab
Castle Naze Traverse HVS (?) - a good historical tick, first girdle traverse?
Stanage Traverse - E5 - ?
Broomgrove Road Wall Traverse F7c - not long but hard and the best of them all

In reply to mark20:

thankyou for the great list of traverse i will be getting out and doing them soon. was given advice by tom randall to do stanage traverse the longest in the peak district and posably the uk

In reply to astonminifield:

The dalesman at high neb is an interesting one. Otherwise ring of roses at rivelin is hard for the grade. These are both on my wish list.

Ah, nostalgia!

The full Black Rocks traverse (not the measly 2 pitch one). That's not listed on the UKC page, and I suspect isn't in the current guidebook, but it's ~11 pitches and is most fun (complete with abseil partway through).

In reply to astonminifield:
Can't remember how long the traverse of Boulder Ruckle is, but quite a few pitches (20+ ?)

edit - just checked - 3500m & 52 pitches

The upper girdle on Beinn Eighe looks good, only Severe too.

In reply to astonminifield:

Pendulum HVS at Stoney
and the Wildcat girdle (E1?)

In reply to astonminifield:

I have a traverse on a bridge arch here in New Mills that I think even Jerry M would not have been able to flash.
Happy to show anyone who wants to visit.I have only done it twice.Called Bleating.80 feet.

In reply to astonminifield:

Not quite in the peak but if you like traverses try craig y longridge. Be warned tho its pretty steep gritstone! ;-》

In reply to string arms:

ive seen that one, craig y longridge is the one that started off my adiction to traverses. hopefully will fully do it this year

Traverse of the gods Swanage

Dovestones Main Quarry Girdle Traverse. Can't imagine a bigger adventure in the Peak.
