Ringing Roger is an out-thrusting ridge of gritstone tors overlooking Edale on the south margin of the Kinder plateau. There is a good path up the ridge with an easy scramble to finish which I think is a much better and quieter route up to the plateau than the slog up Grindsbrook.

The head of Grindsbrook - the main watercourse flowing off the southern escarpment down to Edale. Virtually dry on this occasion.

Gritstone cliffs and tors form the banks of the Kinder River high up on the plateau. Almost dry on this occasion, in wet weather the river flows away northwards and then west to fall over the Kinder Downfall on the west escarpment.

A chaotic looking place of gritstone cliffs and boulders where, in wet weather, the Kinder River falls over the western escarpment. When it's windy, a lot of the water blows back up again. Best viewed large.
