Access - as of 27 June 2023 most routes are no longer possible due to the ongoing works.
This neglected quarry to the south of Matlock features a fine vertical wall of compact rock. The steep crack lines date back to the early 80's and the original sport routes were developed in the late 90's by Pete Cresswell.
The crag became somewhat neglected until 2008 when Jon Clark gave the wall a complete overhaul, re-bolting all the original sport routes and adding a handful of hard new additions. The routes are long (25m in places) and most are very sustained.
It is now an excellent venue for anyone looking to push their grade into the hard 7's.
Construction works are currently ongoing as part of a housing development. These include rock works which are expected to affect some climbs. Understandably the construction company has requested that climbers stay out of the construction site for safety reasons. The BMC have requested discussions regarding future access. Update to follow.
Please do not enter the site during construction works.
