Is there anything in Stanage or on eastern grit generally that's more than about 20m?

I'm hoping for multi-pitch routes somewhere from Diff to HVS. What's the longest such route in the region?

Thanks!

It's better as one long pitch though. :O)
(All the gear on P1 on the left rope, all the gear on P2 on the right...)

At the same grade, Great North Road (Millstone) is one of the longer Eastern Grit routes and can be split into 2 (or even 3) pitches if you really want to.

In reply to Rapsling:

Lots of traverses. If you are interested I could list some.

In reply to Offwidth:

Thank you, that would be really helpful

In reply to Rapsling: Multipitch grit is rather contrived because so few route are 20 mtrs. Why not just go and try some of the big limestone routes which are much closer to being "real" multipitch? If you don't know the area, most of the Peak limestone crags are 10-15 minutes drive of the Eastern Grit edges, and could be closer depending where you are coming from.

In reply to TobyA:

There are a few good up ones on places like Rylstone and Dovestones Quarry and Edge

In reply to Rapsling:

The tallest routes on Eastern Grit are in the quarries at nearly 30m, and there are a few routes there that can be done as multi-pitch outings without feeling too contrived, Great Slab, Lyons Corner House, The Scoop, even Great North Road at Millstone, plus Pulpit Route, Great Harry and a few other at Lawrencefield. Then there is Suicide Wall at Cratcliffe plus quite a few at Black Rocks; Lean Man's Climb etc.
