I went for a walk up there yesterday looks like a really good crag just needs some TLC.

I'm looking to organise a clean up at the moment, will be posting on the Forum shortly!

I'm also happy to help with a cleanup if you drop me a line with a date/time.

Hi, I saw you post about a honley crag clean up, i can help, let me know ifyou organise a date/time

We are looking for people to help the cleanup of this quarry this summer. It is mainly vegetation build up that is the problem and moss on the rock.

The asbestos are a few tiles from the roof of the quarry building that used to occupy one of the bays, these are now pretty much covered by vegetation. Also there's a lot less rubbish than I expected. The off-vertical walls are starting to green up as trees are cutting off light to the walls. Just needs a little TLC and this would be a quality venue!

I would not recomend climbing here due to the asbestos dumbed around the quarry, which is a shame because, if given a quick clean, many of the routes here would be worthwhile.
