Restricted Access

November 2017 update

Reports of climbers being told to leave by security staff from the quarry and stating that they will be removing the bolts form this venue. BMC are investigating.

The owners of the site (Cemex Ltd) have approached the BMC to advise that this crag is within and forms part of a larger site that is an active and working quarry. They are legally bound by the Quarries Regulations 1999 to ensure that they take appropriate steps to prevent public access to the site, and have requested the BMC to inform climbers that climbing is not allowed at this site. 

2020 update

Climbers have been heavily using this crag (especially during lockdown) with no issues. If approached by Cemtex Staff, please comply with their request if asked to leave and get in touch with your local access rep.

14m.

Start right of the tree stump. A slightly mossy start should not deter.

βeta: Large juggy bit of rock which you use to clip the anchors is definitely a little dodgy and worth taking a bit if care on. It is marked with an x already.

βeta: The sizeable flake that is the crucial jug to clip the chains is VERY loose and needs to be removed. I've marked it with a large X but belayers keep an eye out.
