Description
Millstone Edge is a remarkable venue for climbing. Unlike many of the other edges Millstone is an old quarry, and the rock features left by the quarrymen are very striking.
The rock is generally of excellent quality, although the top outs for some of the routes need caution as the steep slopes above the cliff can be sandy in places.
The cliff faces west, dries quickly after rain and is easy to reach.

Getting There
From Hathersage head East on the A6187, after about 1 mile the road follows sharply round to the left. Park up either on the left before the turn or shortly after in the cap park.
Follow the track (just to the west of the sharp turn) heading North. You'll soon arrive at the first area.
