Restricted Access
A large limestone quarry where access is unclear.
Note 26/03/24: It has been reported that climbers have been challenged by someone claiming to represent the landowner. The climbers were told climbing was not permitted and that the owner intends to start prosecuting climbers. It should be noted that trespass is a civil offence only and there would be no grounds for prosecution, so long as no criminal damage had been done and the individuals left when asked to do so.
Anyone challenged in this way is asked to take a name and contact details so that the matter can be followed up by the BMC.

UKC Logbook Description
Over to the left of Darlton slab, starting just right of where a plank of wood is attached to the wall. Good rock, low crux and closely bolted. If the crux seems hard perhaps you're doing it wrong!

βeta: There is some very prone rock on the right around 2nd/3rd bolt where you go left a bit. Don't touch this. I gave the bad-looking bit a poke and it wobbled. | βeta? | |

βeta: Harder than 5+. 6a/6a+ is a more realistic grade. One of the better routes here. | βeta? | |

βeta: There is an easy way of doing the crux which isn't reachy but might not be obvious. Holds out to the right may be red herrings cleaned by the baffled. | ||
