Blackstone Edge

Lancashire

Right in the heart of Bronte country. Not much in the HVS range, but plenty for the low-grade E climber. The North and South Crags can look a little forbidding but the extensive and excellent bouldering is generally more friendly. Slightly scattered bouldering but will repay repeated visits in a special setting. Try the Back Edge, Trig Point and Hueco for a compact starter set or Beyond/Back of Beyond away from the Pennine Way hullabaloo.

Parking and Approach

Park at The White House pub as for Cow's Mouth Quarry, the path towards Blackstone edge is just on the other side of the road and slightly lower. The southern end can also be approached by parking near the Windy Hill transmission tower, M62 junction 22. A quiet moorland apprach once the M62 has been left behind.

Nice area, with some rock rope climbing and a bit of boulders all around. Good for a nice day out. Quite windy the area, better for summer and warmer days.
