Froggatt Edge
Heather Wall
Grade: Severe (S) Location: Froggatt Edge
A great route at the grade which gets gradually harder as you move upwards, although punctuated by good rests; for many climbers the ideal route. The final crack can be climbed in a number of ways but for many, this is a great spot to experiment with gritstone "hand-jamming"?.
Chequers Buttress
Grade: Hard Very Severe (HVS 5a) Location: Froggatt Edge
One of Froggatt's major classics, "˜Chequers Buttress' is perhaps one of the most photographed pitches on Peak District Gritstone. Climbing up the huge flake is followed by some tenuous, and well protected, climbing out left to the fine arête. Follow this in a spectacular position to the top.
