Probably the finest of the Peak’s moorland crags. So good that there are local beers and pies named after it! OS grid SE 017024.
Meet at the Dovestones Reservoir at 9am. When we visited Dovestones Edge earlier in the summer, the car park was full by 9.15am hence the early start. The car park is Pay and Display unless you are an RSPB member.
Follow the track past the sailing club clubhouse until the bridge over Chew Brook is reached. Turn right and pass a huge boulder and the crag is ahead and up hill of you.
There are 80 routes, 14 up to S and 16 between S and HVS. Rockfax recommends Route 1 HS “an historic classic, do it whatever grade you climb at”.
Some members may go to Rob’s Rocks, staring at the same time from the same car park.
The crag faces NE and can get midgy if there is no wind. Pack your midge repellent.
Contact me if you need further information or can offer or want a lift.
