Froggatt Edge is a very popular venue among Peak climbers, and rightly so. It is one of the best bouldering venues in the Peak and well worth a visit.
The bouldering is well dispersed along the edge, with problems spread across both the edge itself and the many boulders nestled amongst the trees below, giving the venue a more relaxed and less concentrated feel than some of its neighbouring crags. This spread makes it easy to find quieter sections even on busy days.
Rock quality throughout is excellent, with classic Peak District gritstone providing the coarse, textured surface the area is renowned for. Friction is at its best on cool, crisp days when the rough stone feels incredibly secure, though many problems remain climbable through the summer thanks to the west-facing aspect, making it an excellent afternoon and evening venue during warmer months.
