<p>Stanage Edge<br />
<br />
Stanage is the largest and most impressive of the gritstone edges<br />
<br />
Situated on the moors north of Hathersage, and visible from miles away down in the Hope Valley, it stretches for a length of approximately 4miles from its northern tip at Stanage End to the southern point close to the Cowper Stone (near Burbage Rocks).<br />
<br />
It is a famous location for rock-climbing and a popular spot for walkers.<br />
<br />
Stanage’s situation is high, and it can be snowbound in winter.<br />
<br />
For most of its length, it lies between the 1,300 and 1,500 ft contours. The rock face itself attains a maximum height of 85 ft, but for most of its length it is between 50 and 60 ft high.<br />
<br />
The high point of the main edge is at High Neb (1,502 ft), which lies near the northern end.<br />
