Routes in United Kingdom for selected grade

Starting at the crack in the centre of the unconquerables, head left through the series of under clinging flakes.

A classic climb.

Another popular climb that has a particularly fine top pitch. Start below the big diamond-shaped wall, left of the polished slab.

1. 4c, 20m. Climb left up a crack to an overhang. Now make a hard move up and right up two cracks and into the base of a groove. An easier alternative is to step left at the overhang and then move up right along a ramp to the base of the groove. Climb the groove to an exciting exit left at the top to a belay.

2. 5a, 30m. Climb the slab up and left to the base of a wide crack. Climb this to where it gets too wide and step out right onto the arete and follow easier ground up and left to a ledge below a steepening crack. Arrange gear and step left onto the headwall to gain a steep crack on the left which leads to the top. © Rockfax

A 4 star route in the guide. Climb 'Crack of Doom' to the roof, then traverse leftwards to a hard pull into a rest in the niche. Finish either direct or up right via 'The Five Star Finish'. Is generally considered THE best climb on grit, some disagree.

Start in the difficult off-width corner to gain a rest above. Then climb to glory up the corner crack to the top.

Plenty of rather big and also rather hollow flakes. Dont bother to test them, you'll just get scared. Follow the obvious diagonal line to the left of Equinox. At the point where they meet either take the left hand branch or the righthand branch, easier.

One of the best of its grade hereabouts. Start just right of ‘The Bad Step’, below a thin crack with an old peg in place at 4m.

14m: Climb the thin crack with difficulty, passing the peg…

The amazing splitter crack through the roof on creaky flakes.

Can be climbed as two pitches by linking P1 and P2 together.

P1 can be linked into P2 and P3 of 'Doorpost' to create a 3-star "direct" route.

Follows a series of finger cracks to the loose flake (be gentle!) and top of the needle. Good gear and the best route at Rivelin. Abseil off the needle using a rusty chain or chipped notch (or both).

A CALEY CLASSIC.A SOLO THE ONLY WAY TO TRY IT

After staring up the crack between blocks (start of The Coign), climb the centre of the slab with horizontal cracks.

Aim for the groove. things soon ease

Ascend the notable arete using large holds until reaching the big ledge. From there, shift slightly to the left to access a weakness in the sizeable overhang above, and boldly proceed to haul oneself up using jugs to finish.

The second line of bolts on the slab between Rack and Pin to the left and The Mallard to the right.

The third line of bolts on the slab between Sodor to the left and Polar Express to the right.

This is a stunning pitch on fantastic rock. Follow the obvious wandery groove with intermittent flakes and crack features. You can either go left at the bulge down low or direct and take E2. Truly one of the best in the Peak.

Either continue up P2 of 'Brant' or belay on the right and abseil off.

Not a slab climb at all, of course.

Climb the crack and edge up the left side of the triangular slab.

Climb the obvious crack up to the big ledge.

one for the jamming master, a forceful couple of pitches that have taken a few scalps over the years.start beneath the hand crack that cuts through the overhang.

Steep corner crack left of the Butcher arete.

Excellent & varied jamming with good protection makes this a coveted route. Climb the crack for what will be the first of many times.
