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. Climbing here leans toward sustained, pumpy trad routes alongside a selection of classic hard testpieces spanning HS up to E6. Iconic lines include Windhover (E2 5c), Tom Thumb (VS 4c), and Our Father (E4 6b). Access is instantaneous from roadside parking laybys directly beneath the cliff — polished rock on lower-grade classics and heavy road traffic below require extra vigilance while belaying.

Region: Peak District
Rock type: Limestone
Aspect: south-facing
