Climbing

Have you ever fancied trying this challenging and exciting sport but never had the opportunity? Based at The Roaches in the dramatic Staffordshire Moorlands, these rocky outcrops draw climbers of all abilities from far and wide. We will lead you up some of the classic Peak District gritstone routes, rewarding you with magnificent views across the region. In the event of bad weather we will guide you through all aspects of climbing and all equipment is provided along with fun and enthusiastic instruction from our fully qualified Leader.

The Roaches - This dramatic gritstone escarpment juts up from the rolling countryside and is the jewel in the crown of The Staffordshire Moorlands. Nearly a thousand acres of moor and rock, formerly belonging to the Swythamley Estate were purchased by The Peak District National Park in 1980, signifying the South West corner of the Peak District. Formed over millions of years by ice ages and the elements, the rocks now present a natural obstacle course for scrambling and climbing. The Roaches are split into an upper tier and lower tier and the area is a magnet for climbers of all abilities looking to challenge themselves on the classic gritstone routes.
