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.

The weather forecast looks great for our meet at Bram crag quarry tomorrow!
I’m planning to be at Cockermouth for about 3pm if anyone would like to car share.
I think the Dog and Gun will probably be the best option for a beer afterwards
Do contact me via email rosdefraine@btinternet.com or 07734471241 to let me know you’re coming or with any queries.
Hope to see you there
Ros

Another great sunny evening’s climbing was had on Tuesday.
14 members and family had a great time completing numerous bolted routes on Sunburst Slab, Promontory Buttress and Center Parc sectors.
Members attending were Jonathan C, Josh, Geriant, Ann S, Aileen, Mike, Tina and Louis, Dan, Martin, Mark M, Roland, Mike and Ros.
Some wheeling and dealing occurred at the bottom of the crag by some members who were tempted to part with their cash for some shining near gear, before ending the evening with a beer in the Dog and Gun.
Thanks to everyone for a great evening!
