Bouldering at Stanage

Whilst originally made famous for its traditional climbs, the boulders that sit beneath Stanage Edge are packed with a quality and history all of their own.

Popular trad routes on Stanage

Over 4 miles, the breathtaking gritstone edge of Stanage is home to some of the most famous traditional or ‘trad’ routes in the world - and it literally forms the boundary edge of Sheffield. If you wanted a single venue to capture the full gritstone climbing experience then Stanage is your place.

Ride the Eastern Moors

The Eastern Moors circuit has spectacular views with downhill sections that are fast and flowing - but it is suitable for all abilities.

Walks with Julia Bradbury

TV presenter and Co-Founder of The Outdoor Guide, Julia Bradbury grew up in Sheffield and learnt to love walking right here in the city. Like many Sheffielders, she used to spend her weekends out in the Peak District with her Dad, just a stone’s throw away from the city limits, so she knows a lot about the beauty that exists right here in The Outdoor City.

Climb - whatever the weather

If you climb outdoors you will always have one eye on the weather. A little local knowledge can help you find the right crag in and around Sheffield, and get a good day’s climbing whatever the weather.

Sheffield’s Urban Boulders (including the Tour de Blocs challenge by bike)

Several purpose-built climbing boulders have popped up all over the city in recent years.
