A scattering of cliffs that overlook the tranquil Edale valley, and reflect the kinder side of Kinder - big bulbous outcrops of coarse but clean rock that get all the sun that is going. If you have never climbed on Kinder and want to escape the crowds of the Eastern Edges - then this is probably the best place to start. The fact that the individual outcrops are aligned along the rim of the moor means it is possible to do routes on several cliffs getting between them by the high level footpath that runs along the edge of the moor. Fine views, easily linked crags and good routes all add up to classic ingredients for a great mountain day out.
