Restricted Access

The site is part of a Local Nature Reserve and the quarry floor below Main Wall provides an important orchid habitat - please avoid this area from April-June inclusive.

There is a bolting agreement for some agreed routes from Modern Wall rightwards, any future bolting development needs to be discussed with the local BMC access rep and potentially the landowner before any work.

The roof of the cave left of Gouffle is thought to be unstable and is being monitored by Lancashire County Council. Please take care not to damage the rock or indicators measuring any movement. 

Seasonal Restrictions

Dates: 14 February to 1 July

Reason: Nesting Birds

During the nesting season each year, climbing in Warton Main is restricted for the whole quarry including the Terrace, to prevent disturbance of peregrines and other birds. Thank you for following the restrictions. The BMC has a good relationship with interested parties locally, birds are actively monitored and if fledging birds allow, the restrictions will be lifted early and this page updated.

 

50m, 2 pitches. 10 Aug 22, route is upgraded and harder since the removal of a lot of loose rock at the start of pitch 2. This route is best started from the large belay ledge at the top of pitch one by abseiling from the big tree above, this also gives a top rope for the loose top out. From the ledge, climb the corner until the first traversing ledge is met (possible belay at a this point). Traverse the ledge to the arĂȘte and climb this to the top.

Previous ticks are still VS, 4b! Haha.
