Froggatt Edge

Access
From Sheffield there are two main approaches to Froggatt Edge, both from the A625 Fox House to Calver road. Each option takes approximately fifteen to twenty minutes to reach the main crag. The most popular approach is along the wide, flat path above the edge, which starts from the White Gate (O.S. ref. SK 254776) about 500m south of The Grouse Inn. Limited (thoughtful!) parking is possible alongside the road just north of the gate. Alternatively, a National Trust car park exists farther up the road towards the inn. Logistics
Accommodation in Hathersage. Campsite at North Lees. Period
Spring and autumn. On clear winter days the friction is at its best, but beware of strong winds. Climb
Gritstone climbing at its best: technical, balancy, powerful and pumpy all at the same time. The crag is suitable for families. Notes
The Peak District
 Squashed between the northern industrial cities Manchester and Sheffield, the Peak District has always been a haven of peace for those fleeing these massive industrial metropolis in search of solitude and untouched nature. Dotted within this rolling countryside are rugged gritstone outcrops, each unique, each with routes of almost all grades and danger levels. "God's own rock", as it is often described, can be so addictive that it is not uncommon to see climbers continuing even when it rains; saner wet weather alternatives include a visit to one of the numerous indoor climbing walls or an enormous mug of tea in a cafe.
