Crag features

The Forge comprises of the edge beyond the Hey Crook Common Quarries, included below are the blocks we thought worthwhile, most of the rest of the edge is broken, too easy or in poor condition, we've probably climbed the lot. Opened up by Jeff Hope and Ryan Rogerson.

Don't be put off by the colour of the rock, it has incredible friction and also remains cool in Summer, we bouldered through August 2024. 

Best way to experience the crag is to walk to the warm up wall at the far end and work back. I'd recommend wearing some decent footwear, its only 10 mins walk in but in places is a little loose underfoot, it says everything it's a 5 min walk back. The first block is at What3words ref prevents.oasis.afterglow the warm up block is clasping.performs.mysteries

We have not climbed the blocks beyond the dry stone wall, its close to the house and didn't want to push into their privacy. Please consider this. 

Approach notes

Park in the fisheries car park, they're ok with it but ask that if they have an event on and it's busy we park elsewhere, there are places to park on the road nearby. 

Walk back out of the car park on to the road and turn left over the tumbled wall, walk up to where the land terraces a little and follow it right. The first rock you will see are parts of the quarries, the rock is poor quality, you've been warned. 

No Access Issues

We have had no issues with access but try as I might I can't find who owns the land. If approached be respectful and if asked to leave please do so courteously.
