Crow Chin gulley and Jarvis Clough
A prominent un-named gulley and gap in Stanage Edge just north of Crow Chin - the point where the Edge takes a sudden bend from NW to NNE.
Jarvis Clough is the small prominent valley in the middle distance. On the far skyline are the Kinder Scout plateau, Bleaklow Head and Derwent Edge.
Stanage Edge is comprised of Rivelin Grit (aka Chatsworth Grit), Namurian age, Upper Carboniferous. The coarse-grained gritstone was deposited in a series of delta distributary channels. The gritstone is normally strongly cross-bedded.
