    Tips

    Mountaineering

    If you are a confident scrambler, I suggest taking the slightly unorthodox route up Back Tor to add a bit of variety. To the left of the main track and down towards the rocky bottom, then make your way up. Steady footing, and good footwear is required.

    Mountaineering

    Mostly people visit this place to see Mam Tor, but being there it's worth to do an extra mile to see Back Tor. Easy.
