NOTICE: There are Kestrels nesting on the Complete Streaker traverse. Please avoid this route and any up routes close to the nest location until 17th August. Whilst kestrels are not a schedule 1 protected species, they are in decline in the UK and climbers are taking every care to avoid disturbing nesting birds and chicks.
from 21/04/2026 to 17/08/2026
Mostly good quality quarried gritstone. Can be sandy in places. Some fantastic routes equal to peak classics. Mohammed the Mad... is unmissable at VS 4c as is Splash Arete at VDiff. Flick of the Wrist and End of Time are superb and tricky E2s. Generally the routes have a bold feel to them; protection can be sparse and the fixed gear is often poor. The quarry does not deserve the poor reputation it seems to have despite the steady influx of summer visitors. There is also some good but limited bouldering.
