Baslow is a quiet little backwater, lacking any of the great classics of its near neighbours. Despite this, it is worthy of a visit for a little peace and solitude. The edge consists of a scattered set of buttresses, and the occasional small quarry, stretched out over more than a kilometre of hillside. The outlook is pleasant and in the autumn the slope below the cliff is loaded with bilberries. There a decent selection of low grade routes, but awkward access along the base of the cliff (in places) and occasionally difficulties in locating solid belays above, means that the place is not as ideal for beginners as it first appears.
