Is there anywhere suitable/ethical to dry tool/mixed climb in the area? Fairy quarry? 

 

Thanks guys!

 

Release the hounds!!!

Under the bridge.

bridge in fairy quarry? Not seen one there, is it any good?

 

In reply to Keiran.A:

Fairy Cave is not a legit venue for dry tooling. There is a chalk quarry near Salisbury which is used for that sort of thing but I don't know of anywhere else.

In reply to Keiran.A:

There are no dry tooling venues in the Mendips or Cheddar... ignore the first reply to you, the person was attempting to make a poor joke.

In reply to Keiran.A:

There may be no known venues, but if there's one chalk quarry there'll be others. SPend a wet SUnday with an OS map driviong round and you might be rewarded.

In reply to A Longleat Boulderer:I feel that's a little cruel. The Strawberry line has a number of bridges perfectly suitable for this sort of thing

In reply to Keiran.A:

Can someone explain to me what drytooling is?  And are there any clubs nearby where I might explore this further in a consensual fashion?

Finding some undiscovered limestone crag and levering off all the loose rock with ice tools could do us all a favour !
