The landowner have made the BMC aware that they do not support climbing at the quarry, as is evident from the on site signage.
Anyone choosing to climb please keep your impact low - park sensibly, remove litter, keep noise to a minimum and leave if requested to. Please report any significant nesting activity on routes to the BMC (particularly ravens, peregrines, or kestrels).
Dates: 21 May to 30 June
Reason: Nesting Birds
Kestrels have previously been reported nesting at the left hand end of Joint Effort wall. No reports have been received to date this year.
Rockfax Description
Climb the pleasant crack to the bulges and lace it with gear. Then pull up and right to find tricky-to-place runners and one more balancy move to reach easy ground. © Rockfax

βeta: I didn't bother with the hard-to-place runner as the ones underneath were good and you can get at least one half-decent nut once you're through the crux. The top section is still a little tricky. I reckon it's soft E2 but the crux is 5c. | βeta? | |

βeta: Great route. Didn't think this was particularly reachy and I'm 5'8''. Managed to get gear in after the crux so didn't find it bold | βeta? | |

βeta: A full grade easier than Cathy's Clown, with a bivvy ledge to go for post-crux. E2 5b, if that. | βeta? | |

βeta: One well protected tricky move followed by an easier but bolder couple of moves lead to an exciting mantel onto a grassy ledge before the top is reached. Quite good route. | βeta? | |
