About Burbage South Edge

Burbage South Edge is a high-profile, imposing gritstone crag known for its fierce overhangs, bold arêtes, and historic testpieces. The rock quality is superb gritstone, featureless in places and offering minimal protection on the harder routes. Facing west, the edge remains in dark shade throughout the morning and only catches the sun in the late afternoon, meaning it can take slightly longer to dry than neighboring southern exposures. The climbing style is notoriously demanding and strenuous, dominated by upper E-grade trad routes alongside a handful of mid-grade cracks like Goliath. Approach the edge by taking the valley path from the Bridge car park for about fifteen minutes before ascending the slope. The defining characteristic of this crag is its serious nature, with many climbs featuring high-consequence landings and minimal gear.
