I think you'll struggle with that one.

In reply to mmmmcake:
You need to get hold of the Rockfax Peak District Roadside Ice Guide book.

cheers, i will check it out

In reply to danrock101: I think Ive seen one in the For Sale/Wanted forum.

In reply to n-stacey: Postage will be huge on it though, it's bigger than the old lancashire guide.

In reply to mmmmcake: here's a topo from it for free:




























You 're welcome...

In reply to mmmmcake: When I lived in New Mills there was a spout down onto the railway track that I always was wanting to make a full icicle. Unfortunately it never did, even when the Downfall was in condition.

In reply to n-stacey:

The same bloke is selling Extreme Rock for a fiver - make him an offer

In reply to mmmmcake:

Crowden clough very small, I'd say maybe 7 metres and steppy. Is good for a first ice experiance

In reply to xplorer:

It was in good condition on Tuesday.

I guess the OP has to decide if 2K from the road and 300m ascent is " very accessible"!

Whilst not in the peak, Cliviger gorge is is very accessible and not that far awway.

In reply to Dan_S:

I'd call it pretty accessible if I'm honest.
