Samantha Kimber summited Stiperstones (Manstone Rock) on June 11th, 2016 [from/via/route] Knolls Car Park (grid ref SO369976) [with] Jono, Ellie, Tabby, Jasper [weather] Cloudy with very strong threats of rain. Torrential downpours visible from the summit but we managed to avoid them! - The route is a bit of an ankle breaker & my 4 year old son fell over on the rocky ground several times.

Martyn Howarth scaled Stiperstones (Manstone Rock) on April 11th, 2012 [from/via/route] Gatten Plantation car park, along valley & then up to the ridge at the northern end (Shepherd's Rock). [with] Angela Howarth, Matilda Howarth, Archie Howarth (carried). [weather] Pleasant to start with, but turned half way up with heavy hail (like snow on the ground) as we were on our descent. - Path along ridge treacherous - especially if carrying child in carrier & unable to clearly see one's own feet! Not one to attempt with young children who may need carrying - even for a confident walker with good boots!
