Pete Whittaker has flashed the E8 gritstone arete of The Power of the Darksideat Bank Quarry, Upper Matlock Quarries, Derbyshire. |
|
Its rise by the Migot spur and the descent by the Forbes arete offer to the mountaineers a very complete route. |

The Arete starts easily, with several beautiful, loping pitches leading to a striking gendarme. |
