About Stoney Middleton

Good in wet weather. Minus Ten Wall rarely wet. Some seepage at Tom's Roof undercuts. A legendary limestone cliff dominating the north side of the Dale, steeped in British trad climbing history. The rock is steep, featured grey limestone with deep natural breaks, sharp crimps, and polished footholds on historic routes. Facing directly south above the road, the cliff catches maximum available sunlight, though deep corner cracks seep for days after heavy rain.
