Rocktype Pillow lava
Altitude 101m a.s.l
Faces SW

Crag features

The main face is about 20m high and is composed of basaltic pillow lava. A little bit dirty and snappy - the recommended approach is to abseil and tidy up first, leaving the rope to belay from. Gear is very sparse on all the routes right of Isca. As a result, a small number of bolts were placed around 1989.

Note: Three more routes occupied the now heavily vegetated gully to the right of Hijo de Puta. These lines are best abandoned: Doing a Dalby, Dalby and Ascent of Silage.

Approach notes

The quarry is just over 3 miles to the west of Newton Abbot, just north of the A383 and up a narrow lane 300m to the west of the hamlet of Chipley.

Access Advice

The quarry is owned and used as a storage area by local farmer, Mr Westcott of Chipley Farm. He is tolerant of climbing at the quarry, on the understanding that climbers operate wholly at their own risk.
