Stanage Edge, or simply Stanage (from "stone edge") is a gritstone escarpment in the Peak District, England, famous as a location for climbing. The northern part of the edge forms the border between the High Peak of Derbyshire and Sheffield in South Yorkshire. Its highest point is High Neb at 458 metres (1,503 ft) above sea level. Areas of Stanage were quarried in the past to produce grindstones, and some can still be seen on the hillside—carved, but never removed.

A paved packhorse road ran along the top of the edge, and remains of it can be seen, as can remains of the Long Causeway Roman road which works its way over the edge on its route from Templeborough to Brough-on-Noe, crossing Hallam Moor and passing Stanedge Pole (note the slightly different spelling), an ancient waymarker on the route to Sheffield. Some cairns along the top are even older, and there is a well-known cave in the cliff known as Robin Hood's Cave. More recent features include early 20th-century drinking basins, designed to collect pure rainwater for grouse to drink.

Stanage is a magnet for climbers and ramblers in addition to runners. The Stanage Struggle is a popular local fell race that starts in nearby Hathersage and rises to High Neb before returning to the village 500 feet below.

After three years of wasting everyone's time and believing distortions of the truth... With the police clearly lying about all sorts of things... This layered edge of blue cuts to the point. R.I.P.

We might have swung our legs over the edge in younger days, but now we sit a bit farther away...

like the tide my

fears rise and swell

cold brine pitches

bidding me enter

and there beneath

in the absence of light

clutching at the memory of the womb

i hold to the very edge

to the darkest moments

that incline me towards

letting go

Upper Proxy Falls

Willamette National Forest, OR

 

At the end of a hanging valley created by glacier-cut canyons 6000 yrs ago, Upper Proxy Falls and nearby Proxy Falls, known as “cascade and plunge” waterfalls, are formed from a collection of springs on the side of North Sister, a mountain in central Oregon. The waterfalls plummet off the glacier carved cliffs into porous subsoil and sink underground giving the impression there is no surface outlet. (Wikipedia)

Day off, not one for staying at home, drove to stanage edge, enjoyed it, the end.

Looking across the Upper Derwent Valley towards Derwent Edge from the northern top of Crook Hill.

The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.
