Egerton Quarry Clean Up

In recent years Egerton Quarry, in Lancashire, had fallen into relative neglect. Paths had been obscured by brambles and some routes had got vegetated through lack of attention. On Saturday May 8th local climbers carried out a big clean-up operation at the crag. Check the thread below for a detailed report.

What no mention of Cherry Bomb? Surely a candidate for the best VS on Lanc's Grit!! Good work on the promotion Fiend, only climbed there once, but very impressed with the place. Incidentally, if anyone fancies a night there after work (5.30+),or a weekend afternoon, drop me a mail. Cheers Andy

Yer Cherry Bomb is great as is Dizzy The Desert Snake, but I don't think they needed cleaning nor were tackled in the recent clean-up (someone might correct me). But yes a fine route to recommend.

Well done to all involved but this sort of info really gets the likes of me fired up, so well done Fiend. I'll be making a visit soon. What is also great is to see the combination of BMC and RT folk(many of us in both), making it happen. I got the two original emails from Les first asking for help, then begging for help, I simply couldn't make it. But at least Les came to RT to muster up more help and Alan James also encouraging people to go along. Great to see it really is one world when it comes getting something done. Again, well done all of you.
