I had had a look on yorkshire grit, it said there a few micro routes, just wondered if there were any more detailed topo's. I did a little problem there which did not look climbed before and just wondered if it was something new.

There's a load of chipped stuff on the roofs at the left hand side. Might be good if cleaned up again.

In reply to Andrew1: a freind and I climbed a wall at the far right of the quarry years ago. its just by the steps and links two obvious pockets above a good landing. i would say its defiately worthwhile despite a bit of poor rock low down. i'd give it about v3. check it out.

i did a route on one of the first boulders as you walk up into the quarry. It was a low traverse with a rock out at about V4/5 with a really cool pinch on it. just wondered if it had been done before.
