Crag features
A small crag which was unclimbed until recently, clean up is virtually complete and ive been able to get unrestricted public access from the owners. Ive put it on the map, let me know if you put up a route, i reckon theres 5 or 6 more to do - HAPPY CLIMBING!
Climbs are described from LEFT to RIGHT.
The quarry benefits from 7 belay stakes at the top of all the walls.
Watty Wall - The first wall, some of the climbs here are described with relation to a small 'V' shaped block near the top.
Overhang Buttress - The taller, more imposing wall, to the right. Some more difficult climbs start from underneath the blank roof at the arete.
The Slab - The obvious slab at the far right of the quarry offers some delicate climbing for shorter folk, or an escape from the overhanging arete.
Very overgrown at the moment, apologies for this but my time has been spent at the larger offering of Gauxholme quarry as of late.
Approach notes
Access is now unrestricted! **Please Park Consideratly**
There is parking space for 2 cars max on stones road at sharp right hand bend. - 2 minutes walk in
Alternativly you can park at the bottom of Bacup Road near the 'Masons Arms' walk up Pexwood road about 30 metres then take obvious footpath on left, continue up this until you reach the qaurry that will be on your left. - 5 - 10 minutes walk in and a good warm up.
| Hi, Watty was climbed on in the early 6o's by the guys who developed Gauxholme. They did'nt do much as far as I know.Glad it is being re-developed and new additions are being made. There is still time --just!-- to get it into the upcoming Lancs Guide. You can contact me if you wish [ via this site ] or send directly to Les Ainsworth. Regards Bruce Goodwin.
