Restricted Access
Huckford Quarry is a designated nature reserve, with important plants and nesting birds (such as peregrines) on the main cliff. There is a small wall suitable for bouldering at the quarry entrance but do not climb on the walls in the back of the quarry. 1 route has been done here (Lost Worlds, e4 6b, O.Keynes) on a clean impressive arete at the back right of the quarry - very good but repeaters should take care not to disturb nesting peregrines.
Be respectful of the nature here. Keep group size small, noise down (NO STEREOS!!), dog on lead at all times, and clean chalk off when you leave.
Pull on to the undercuts between Keep In and Keep Out and pounce for the slot.

βeta: @jw_climb1 fair enough on the grade. I did the FA and it took 7 sessions, whereas everything else here took me a session at most which is why I went with 7C. Maybe a morphology thing? Felt like a big stretch between the undercuts and the slot for me. | βeta? | |

βeta: I really doubt this is 7C ... Could be anywhere from 6B to 7A. Did it in 1 session after spending loads more time trying Keep on (6C) | ||
