Rockfax | Databases | Stanage Plantation

The magical arena of the Plantation Area marks the beginning of the more continuous section of the climbing. Here the cliff reaches its greatest height on the Tower Face and the whole section is littered with great routes across the grades. It is also one of the most popular bouldering spots around particularly the jumble below Goliath\'s Groove, and the blocks below Paradise Wall.
