The Peak District’s highest concentration<br />
of mid-grade sport climbs Photography: David Simmonite<br />
Long renowned for the excellent trad climbing at Stoney Middleton,<br />
the dale that holds this imposing crag has undergone considerable<br />
development in recent years with the addition of many new sport climbs<br />
to appeal to the masses. The old favourite of Horseshoe Quarry is<br />
approaching maturity in terms of virgin rock, even though it still surprises<br />
when new rock gets unearthed, however, climbers have sought out new<br />
areas and revamped a couple of old favourites to give the highest<br />
concentration of low to mid-grade sport climbs in the Peak District.<br />
Stephen Coughlan on the popular Horseshoe Quarry tick, The Big Fat Texan on the Corner (F6a+).<br />
