PEAK DISTRICT
The White Peak
The geology, and hence the rock climbs of England’s Peak District, are divided into two very different zones.
The Dark Peak, home to black “gritstone”, and the precision climbing on tiny holds that it offers…
And the White Peak - A world of white “limestone” pillars and monoliths, rising like giant teeth from hidden wooded valleys.
It’s these White Peak climbs we cover here, set in their other-worldly, Jurassic Park landscape.
