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.

20m. Start about 3m left of the right toe of the buttress. Straight up a little groove and the bulge above to the slab of Weak Walk. Left up this to the large block ledge below the top. Pull strenuously up the wall on the right on good holds to the top.

J. Tomkins and S. Keogh 19/Jan/1974.

βeta: I put this climb up around 50 years ago, and have never been able to get my name spelt correctly it is JOHN TOMPKINS. I wrote the original Leicestershire guide in Leicester but got no response. My partner was a young lad I was instructing Simon Keogh.
