Duke's Quarry

Derbyshire, ENGLAND

Climbs 60 – Rocktype Grit (quarried) – Altitude 122m a.s.l – Faces W

Crag features
A sadly neglected and rather overgrown venue, best visited early in the year before the foilage and ants come out. If some of the trees were removed, and some drainage diverted this would be one of the best quarries in the Peak, with some superb cracklines up to 25m long. Home to the excelent Great Crack HVS 5a, a jammers paradise, and three brilliant steep thin cracks at E5/6; Mr Franik, Repo Man and Get Rich Quick. Pride of place however is Dharma, Dawes' stunning wall climb.
