Bouldering rock, in need of cleaning © Catfoot

Crag features

Crumbly bunter sandstone - Nottingham's finest!
Often green in winter, fine in summer, short single pitches 7m max. Pockety traverses & steep routes with some tricky finishes. Brittle & sandy rock. [Mike Whittaker]

Approach notes

Take the Sandiacre turning from J25 M1, turn right at crossroads towards Sandiacre. Turn left after 1km towards Stanton; after 500m turn left up the hill towards the church, park at the end of the lane near the start of open land, follow the path straight ahead to the 'crag' (500m).
No known access problems

Visited and took some pics here recently. Anybody in the area interested in cleaning it up with me and establishing some routes? I'm only a beginner climber but would be cool to have a local outdoor crag to go to on a nice day rather than needing to drive miles

Still desperate then?! Yes they are close to the motorway, there are 2 separate 'crags' of any note.

Which part of the 'crag' can you actualy climb ? IS it the part closest to the motorway ?

If you can't find anything to climb then you aren't desperate enough!

Cant find anything remotely climbable ! Where are the routes ? Also lots of litter at the base of any rocks I found

Split into a couple of area's, both very mossy and grassy in winter. The first is smaller and on top of a slope, couple of interesting routes but pretty brittle rock. The second has a small overhang with a few flakes going along the sides and a bulge in the middle. Both are heavily pockmarked, the first also has several rope grooves cut in and names scratched into its surface. I frequent as I live 10 minutes away, but for anyone with car access there are many more interesting peak routes under an hour away.
