Gritstone's Best Bouldering Circuit: The Roaches

Rob Greenwood • The Roaches offer the best and most extensive bouldering in Staffordshire, with classics abound across the grades. It’s got its own unique and cosy atmosphere too and is arguably the best place in the whole of the Peak District to go if you’re a beginner - or looking to do a nice circuit of easier climbs. In and amongst this there lies a load of harder stuff too. In short: there’s something for everyone.

The Roaches is the first crag I ever visited in the Peak, it's still one of my favourites! Thanks for this series :)

We've got another series in the pipeline focussing on some classic routes throughout the UK, so watch this space for those 👀

That area has classics 👌 I saw the door in the rock 🪨 That looked awesome 👌

[@ukclimbingofficial]

Yeah, Rock Hall - it’s available for overnight hire too. It’d be an amazing place to stay.

[@darrenmarney8577]

​@@ukclimbingofficial 200 pounds for Rock Hall 😯 I'm thinking that the 200 hundred kms to Arapiles is more my budget 😂
