Advisory notice: Crows (most probably jackdaws) are reported to be nesting in the Graveyard area. Staying off routes/problems in this area will avoid possible disturbance.
Now owned by the BMC, this disused quarry has been dedicated as Open Access Land under the CRoW Act. A few things to consider when climbing at this crag:
If you're able to lend a hand on the cleanup sessions, someone on the 'Lancashire Rock Revival' group will point you in the right direction: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1566324270279682
Rockfax Description
Steady climbing with a bold feel. Gear in the midway break gives protection that is just about adequate. Climb the reachy lower wall via a thin crack to ledges then attack the upper face by a line of (small) chipped holds. The route is substantially harder for the short. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
The centre of the smooth face, taken very directly via chipped holds to finish. A long reach to the first of the twin breaks provides the technical crux, having patience and skill to fiddle in adequate gear in the upper break provides the adjectival crux. E2 with side-runners.
FA. Hank Pasquill 1967.
