Froggatt is one of the most popular crags in the Peak. It is low-lying enough to escape the worst of the weather and is west-facing to catch the afternoon sun.

The main edge is a virtually continuous face of exceptionally clean and quick-drying gritstone of the highest quality up to 17m high. Both natural and quarried buttress exist, giving a variety of climbing styles. Froggatt is home to some of the best slab climbing in the country but also has a great collection of generally well-protected crack climbs. Here is a selection to get the palms sweating and the adrenaline flowing:

Allen's Slab (Sev) - A delight; Green Gut (HS) - Much, much better than it sounds; Sunset Slab (HVS 4b) - Easy, but bold; Hawks Nest Crack (VS 4c) - Exciting jamming; Chequer's Buttress (HVS 5a) - A long arm-span helps get you to a spectacular position; Valkyrie (HVS 5a) - One of the Peak's classic routes over two contrasting pitches; Tody's Wall (HVS 5a) - Squirm onto the block then somehow levitate over the lip onto the slab above; Three Pebble Slab (E1 5a) - Another classic requiring friction and bottle; Strapiombante (E1 5b) - Well protected, but strenuous. A good candidate for a first E1 lead? Brown's Eliminate (E2 5b) - A 2-move wonder route and Great Slab (E3 5b) - Bolder still.
