Make yourself a cup of tea, sit down, and prepare to while away some time gawping at Stanage in a brand new light.
ZoomTopo is a new creation from Sheffield-based geeks Dan Arkle and Roger Brook. Combining three of their great obsessions – photography, programming and climbing – they have produced a resource for climbers the like of which you have never seen before.
First to get the treatment is everyone’s favourite grit crag, Stanage:

There are more to come, so keep your eyes open for some of your favourite high-mountain crags. So go on, fill your boots with this amazing tour of Stanage Popular End on a busy day. As a little game, just how many examples of bad crag-craft can you spot?
