About New Mills Torrs
New Mills Torrs is a deep, dramatic gritstone gorge carved by the River Sett and River Goyt in the heart of New Mills. The crag features towering quarried and natural gritstone walls rising directly above the river channels. Because the gorge walls face various directions and sit beneath urban bridges, sun access is restricted, leading to high seepage levels and very slow drying times. The climbing consists of technical wall routes and intense crack lines, mainly appealing to experienced trad climbers seeking unusual urban gritstone. Access is via the Millennium Walkway paths within the Torrs Riverside Park in New Mills town center. The primary challenge is pervasive dampness and seepage, requiring a prolonged spell of dry weather before conditions become viable.
