UKC

Restricted Access

The access situation is currently unclear. The UKC website was contacted by an agent of the landowner to say "no climbing allowed". The agent was advised to contact the BMC but has not responded to further contact from UKC. Climbs are recorded for historical purposes. The quarry or possibly just the surrounding area between the climbing and the main road are the subject of a dispute over future use as a landfill site. There is no right of access to this crag. Remain polite at all times.

4m. On the right wall of the quarry as you are facing the main bouldering area is a well featured wall. Parboiled takes the centre of the wall staring just right of the graffiti and with both hands in the head height break. Utilise a left hand sidepull to reach a decent crimp. Cross through to a slopey hold, match this and drop off. Quality

βeta: First session out after lockdown and unfortunately pulled off the left hand sidepull :( A shield of rock about 4*6 inches just sheared clean off. It stayed intact so if someone wanted to glue it back, I've left it below the problem. There was no hold left behind so the problem will now climb completely differently.
