October 2024: some quarry infilling has taken place in the last year or so. Some climbs are shorter than previous, some longer. Use your common sense comparing your eyes over the guidebook. The landowner is relaxed about climbing. Routes are being reclimbed to confirm/adjust grades - comments to lancashirerock@outlook.com please.

Levelling has changed the foot of the climbs on some sections by 2-3m, sometimes shortening and sometimes lengthening the climbing. The Main and Pool area have been considerably shortened.

A significant rockfall  demolished Epicoff and Th'Way, leaving an interesting groove, status unknown.

A locally important gritstone quarry accessed by a public footpath from the Warland hamlet. Under the CROW act, the quarry is now open country. For many years the landowner and his son have been amenable to access by climbers. Please show courtesy to the landowner and his son, whose houses you pass as you walk up the footpath – this will ensure amicable access for future climbers. 

There is a pool at the bottom of the quarry, whose size fluctuates according to rainfall and is currently preventing access to the Pool Area and Green Wall. After you leave the public footpath, take care in your approach to the crag.

 

Parking and Approach

Please park carefully at the bottom of the footpath – there is small parking area adjacent to the canal after crossing the narrow Warland canal bridge.

Main face now 2-3 metres shorter as ground level is raised with infill, same with (what was) the pool area. Rising ground level not quite reached section between ‘pool’ and main face yet. Pylon buttress unafected so far
