Summary
Limestone
Another huge abandoned quarry, opposite of Horseshoe, and Horse thief quarries.
Description
Scattered routes of different quality on the lower tier, and a clean headwall with some hard sports routes. Helmet is a must, as well as not standing under your climber when belaying.
Access issues
Tolerated
Climbing is tolerated, but refer to BMC rad for up to date access info.
Approach
Turn right as you are approaching sit down buttress and follow the path to the lower tier. Headwall is just further up to the left. Park sensibly and leave a passing place free.
Ethic inherited from Peak District Limestone
Being a national park, consult the local guide books and the regional access database for any closures. As usual, Nesting birds, and protected flora should be preserved. Some crags are on Private land, and therefore act reasonably if asked to leave.
History
This is where they filmed parts of the latest mission impossible movie. The train and the bridge is now all cleaned up however.
