Adventure Highlights
A weekend of rock climbing in the famous and beautiful Peaks. Enjoy the experience of climbing outdoors with the exhilaration of topping out onto Stanage Moor with the stunning views across the Peak District.

The texture of the rock is very tactile and easy to grip onto, and this was one of the key places where traditional rock climbing emerged in this country.
