Categories
A fine-granite quarry close to Castle Rock in St. Johns in the Vale. Many upper tier routes are hard to protect with trad gear and most have now been retro-bolted.
WARNING: September 2018 – rockfall reported at the far right hand end of the upper tier, routes around the area of false profit. There is reportedly some loose blocks still ‘attached’ to the crag which may fall so either avoid or use caution.
Not an aesthetic crag but good slab climbing and accessible for a quick hit.
Approach notes
Park in a layby just South of the quarry entrance, follow the zig-zag track to a T-junction, turn right and then up the grass ridge to the upper tier, or straight on to the lower tier.

A fantastic evening was had by all, the weather was like being in France.
Those who were there to enjoy themselves were; Phil N, Brendan C, Dan H-B, Roz, Aileen, Mike H, Geraint B, Jonny H, Mark H, Jonathan C, Ian M.
The climbing was mainly in the Centre Parc area where virtually all the routes were completed, a few stayed on later to get nibbled by the midges. There had been a recent rock fall from a low level but the rest of the crag looked good.
Thanks to everyone for car sharing and making the car parking a bit easier.
