[ Print larger map ] – Grid Ref SK 081888 (OS Landranger #110)

Kinder Scout Downfall Area

Derbyshire, ENGLAND

Climbs 200 – Rocktype Gritstone – Altitude 564m a.s.l – Faces W

Crag features
Rough, well-weathered buttresses in an amphitheatre containing the famous Downfall. Sandy, wet and green a good part of the year. Worth a visit in summer (particularly mid week - less Pennine Wayers!). Routes of all grades up to 25m high, in an easily accessible, but seemingly remote location. Classics are Zig Zag Climb (VD), The Mermaid's Ridge (30m! HS 4b,4c), The Great Chmney (HS 4b), Extinguisher Chimney (VS 4c), The Dark Side of the Moon (E3 5c) and The Gallows (E3 6a).
