A few of our favourite climbs...
Whether you're getting out on the grit for the first time or simply want somewhere new to try, here's some tips from the locals for a climbing adventure in Sheffield.
Stretching over 4 miles, the breathtaking gritstone edge of Stanage is home to some of the most famous traditional or ‘trad’ routes in the world.
Several purpose-built climbing boulders have popped up all over the city in recent years. Built to closely mimic the natural boulders and slabs found out in the Peak District, these public facilities offer a convenient and fun opportunity for novices and experts to work on their technique – all for free.
Rivelin Edge is something of a connoisseur's crag. It is small, but perfectly formed – charming and with a very special quality to it.
Sheffield's indoor climbing walls are the ideal places for beginners to get to grips with the sport before heading out to Stanage and the likes.
The longer walk in, and the fact that the sharp, gritty rock can sometimes be green, mean that it’s rarely busy at Dovestone Tor – a perfect place to escape the crowds on a dry, sunny day.
Whilst originally made famous for its traditional climbs, the boulders that sit beneath Stanage Edge are packed with a quality and history all of their own.
If you climb outdoors you will always have one eye on the weather. A little local knowledge can help you find the right crag in and around Sheffield, and get a good day’s climbing whatever the weather.
