Restricted Access

New safety signing has been erected indicating the site owners (Hickley & Bosworth Borough Council) now prohibit a number of recreational activities in the quarry - including climbing and abseiling. Despite an approach to the Council by the BMC to discuss their concerns and the unfortunate situation of public land having restricted access in an area where it provides an important public amenity, no contact from the Council has been forthcoming. If climbers do decide to access the crag and are asked to leave by the landower, please be polite and pack away as soon as is safely possible. 

Be careful of break-ins at the car park.

Not much pro, did it in winter so had to move fast to stop hands freezing.
Start at the left of 6 holes then, straight up. The route finishes over the bulge, on good, though high hand holds. Can be turned on the right on good holds, if nerve fails!
