Yes.

You can search crags via sport climbing too

Try searching for Chapel Head Scar, Mill Side Scar, Scout Crag, Hodge Close

Scout Scar rather than Scout Crag I think. Coudy Rocks, (out-with the Lakes but close, in Appleby, literally), Cathedral Quarry, Dalt Quarry.

Chapel Head Scar is by far the best venue. It'll be bird banned in another weeks time though, probably until July. You'll also want to be climbing F7a to get the most out of it.

In the 6s St Bees is worth a visit, although it's best after a calm spell as it can be very sandy!

I definitely wouldn't travel far to climb at any of the other venues. Although the slate quarries have some bolted routes it's not exactly sport climbing!

Yep Ivy League and Fistful are both good routes. It's not exactly Ceuse though!
