User attention
July 2021: access difficulties at Montcliffe now resolved. The access agreement has the following two special conditions all climbers must adhere to:
1. The quarry must be entered via the old quarry entrance. From Georges Lane follow the public footpath parallel to the quarry to the junction with another path at the foot of the slope, then turn left and enter the quarry on the left after about 80m. Climbers MUST NOT cross the open land on the left of the initial footpath.
2. Climbers MUST NOT TOP OUT on the routes between Wanderers Return (1) and Aye Lad (20), but must use the available lower-offs.
Access to this crag is sensitive but especially so in the current climate. Please do your bit and follow these few simple rules.

A small quarry holding some quality sustained lines on rock similar to Wilton 3. Belay stakes are in place, some of which take a bit of finding.

Thirteen lower-off bolts and one strop around a tree have been provided, installed and tested by dedicated volunteers. Thank you!
In time there may also be lower-offs for the remaining routes.
