  • Good friction range for gritstone
Robin Hood's Stride is a striking limestone-like gritstone feature dominated by two massive stone towers crowning a hilltop near Cratcliffe Tor. The rock is unusually smooth, pitted gritstone with unique pocketed features and sharp breaks. Because the towers and surrounding boulders face all compass directions, climbers can track the sun or shade all day long, and rapid drying is guaranteed by wind airflow. The venue offers exceptional bouldering alongside high-quality short trad routes from Severe to mid E-grades. Classic climbs include Inverted Staircase and the delicate line of Weasel. Reach the Stride via a gentle ten-minute walk along established footpaths from the Cratcliffe parking areas. The brief, highball nature of many routes makes pad selection and spotters essential.
