A view of stanage plantation area some time in on a sunny july afternoon.

Cubanallstar (John Cooke) cruising Left Unconquerable, albeit with way too much gear!

Tim on a fun, easy route in the Peak District. Awesome climbs, but cold wind and rain don't add to much to the experience.

Jim from Aberystwyth Mountaineering Club climbing at Stanage Edge on a cold, rainy day in November.

Awesome day of climbing in the Peak district despite waking up to a cold rainstorm. It's a good thing we decided to tough it out instead of going indoors. Dan's leading a fairly simple route just as the sun makes a grand appearance.

This is me just managing to stay on, on Flying buttress direct, just before i fell and hit the slab below. Excuse the bad photo - sh*t photographer Luke

AlpineJR falling off the top of ulysses, E6.6b. With 2 mats, just about possible not to injure yourself. If your lucky...

Dave Parry icing this problem left-handed. Very warm summers evening.

Leon on Flying Buttress Direct E1 5B. One of the climbs done on a trip seven of us took to climb Grit on St. Patricks Weekend

Eating at Stanage...this is supposed to go to the profile pic fer Diarmid ... hope this works.

Dangerous Dave Law steady in the face of a 40ft fall on this classic gritstone arete.

Myself on this bold gritstone slab on a busy summers day. The gear is good but low, in fact at this point the gear is equi-distant between you and the ground.

Another pic from this very easy S route. Well within solo territry for an experienced climber like John. A good first lead for a newcomer to Gritstone.

This enjoyable route...Being led down a path that at first seems paved with gold may cause you to dance. Ask questions before you follow another...is graded vs 4a.

James is just about to climb hargreaves Original. Look at his huge rack!!
