Stanage Edge

O atrakciji

Brze činjenice: This 1,634-foot gritstone edge was a training ground for legendary climbers like Joe Brown before anyone thought to bolt routes. Its jagged skyline stretches for nearly 4 miles across the Peak District, shaped by 300 million-year-old river sediments that hardened into some of Britain's best climbing rock.

Istaknuto: Turn your back to the cliff and the view stretches across five counties on a clear day, with the spine of the Dark Peak unfurling like a crumpled green blanket. Locals know that the best approach is at sunset when the gritstone glows amber and peregrine falcons slice through the golden light above the crags.

Insajderski saveti

• Preskočite prepuna popularna mesta za boldering blizu glavnog parkinga i hodajte 20 minuta na istok do mirnijih delova sa podjednako dobrom stenom.
• Nosite čvrste čizme sa dobrom potporom za gležanj, jer je peščar ozloglašeno klizav kada je vlažan, a staze po vresištu su neravne.
• Ponesite jaknu otpornu na vetar čak i leti, jer ivica deluje kao vazdušni tunel i udari vetra mogu da vas izbace iz ravnoteže blizu litice.
• Fotografi bi trebalo da dođu u zlatni sat, kada nisko sunce baca duge senke preko talasastih kontura peščara.
