Restricted Access

Please avoid damaging fences - use the stiles provided. Historically there were access problems here, partially as a result of liability concerns and also due to damage to fences, but these appear to be resolved at this time.

There has been significant rock fall across this area over the past few years, climbers should check the route and be aware of more collapsing rock. Routes that have been affected are Septuagenarian, Guillotine, Wusty Wolf and possibly the start of Fool’s Gold.

The only quality route in the blast shelter quarry just below Bus Stop. Go through the kissing gate opposite the bus turning circle and then its on your left. Biggles Flies Undone follows the obvious slab from 1/3 height.

βeta: As of 26/5/22 some total spoon has tried to smack a new peg in the friable crack next to the old (still quite servicable) peg. Seems very unnecessary on an otherwise quite well protected, easy route! I expect someone will remove it because only the tip is in the crack despite an apparent effort to wedge little bits of slate in there to make it stick. So it's not even meaningful to clip it.
