Visited 12 May 2010 A pleasant crag that would benefit from more traffic The usual- neglected green crag crustiness was evident on some climbs but all the routes climbed were climbable and pleasant with little or occasionally- no gardening. Definitely worth a visit. Seemingly adequate stakes at the top, no evidence of recent rockfall. N.B. The (Blatantly copied out of 'Lancashire Rock' and probably in breach of copyright) directions wrongly state you should turn down Highpeak Lane- this is not the case. Instead turn down Highgate Lane (Highpeak Lane doesn't exist!!!) and park considerately in the residential area of Highgate lane. The top of the road is now sporting No Access signs and so would be an unwise choice.

Visited again on Saturday25th April, No seepage or greasy green holds as before, but allot of dusty green needs brushing on most routes. Definite scope for a bit of a laugh and re-vamp there in a week during the summer.

Visited Tonacliffe on Friday20th Feb, was really impressed with the crag... I like the fact it's kinda closed of to the world and in it's own private little cove. Unfortunately most of the holds and routes are starting to grow mossy and are quite green, we suspected no one had been there for years, and got a real good vibe about the place. The fact it has been quarried has resulted in there being loads of positive holds on the grit (less slopers than the peak) and most the climbs are easy. Which suits me as a beginner to build confidence. I have family down the road so I definitely intend to get down there a good few times in the summer, camp at the quarry too. To start cleaning and restoring the crag. Then should be able to eventually tick everything.
