Millstone Edge

Though relatively minor compared to many of the other gritstone crags, Higgar Tor possesses something truly unique: overhanging rock! Featuring very un-grit powerful routes requiring serious endurance and a level head for placing gear under lactic acid overwhelm, it is a great option for rainy days, or when you've just had it with technical slab climbing.
