About Beeston Tor (OS):
One of the best limestone crags in the Peak. The rock has good pockets and often good protection. About 40 routes, VS and up, around 200 feet high, with most climbs being two pitches long. Watch for the stinging nettles in the summer, and remember you have to bushwhack down the left side for the descent. Gets good morning and afternoon sun, worth a visit anytime. |
