Tintwistle Knarr Quarry

Derbyshire, ENGLAND

Climbs 50 – Rocktype Grit (quarried) – Altitude 420m a.s.l – Faces S

Crag features
A splendid quarry, like an unspoilt (unpegged) mini Millstone Edge. Strong features; square cut aretes, grooves and clean cut jamming cracks. Nice clutch of routes between HVS and E3. Best HVSs are Poteen (5b), The Old Triangle (5a), Kershaw's Krackers (5c). The Arete (E2 5b), Sinn Fein (E3 5c) and Guns and Drums (E5 6a) being particularly fine hard routes. Only problems are seppage from the cracks after rain and a bit of veg. at the start of some climbs.

O gradey's offers the best whipper in the north.

A pleasant 15 min walk up to the quarry and great views are possibly the only reason (besides the layback classics and The Arete) to take time out of one’s busy climbing schedule to sample Tints delights. The old triangle was a seeping snot fest despite previous sustained great weather, as for its 2 stars and 5a tech grade ill have to agree to disagree. Knobblekerry corner a 4c??!! Lack of gear for the last 15m while climbing from one shrubbery to the next is eerie. In short:- you’re in the peaks with the best climbing substance known to mankind beneath you, do the grit and yourself a favour and go someplace else.
