Balancing boulder and Hargreave's Original Route

Stanage Edge, the longest of the Eastern Edges, in the Peak District National Park, Derbyshire.

Stanage Edge is comprised of Rivelin Grit (aka Chatsworth Grit), Namurian age, Upper Carboniferous. The coarse-grained gritstone was deposited in a series of delta distributary channels. The gritstone is normally strongly cross-bedded.

Thanks also to Mike and Graham for including information on the rock climb - Hargreave's Original Route.
