Categories
A peaceful little quarry for a bite size slate experience. Sparse protection, plenty of rusty bolts and a couple of loose bits, helmets are very much encouraged and a clip stick if possible.
All the routes on the right of the crag have new bolts and excellent lower off
Approach notes
Park at the national trust car park as for the Bowderstone or in the few spots in the bus stop below.
Walk West across the road and follow the path down to and then cross Derwent River by wading. It may be more difficult after rain.
Pass a small wooden bridge heading South West and up a slight hill as the North Wall of the quarry should come into view.
No restrictions at present.
just walk from grange down the lane to the campsite at the second little bridge take the path to the right before the bridge and crag is 100m on the right.

This weeks evening meet is due to be at Dalt Quarry in Borrowdale. Dalt Quarry is a little slate quarry with a swampy bottom but good ledges around the edge. The north side was re-bolted a couple of years ago, and contains about 25 routes mostly graded in the 6s but with a few 5s + 7s. Although it’s short (10m) I’d recommend bringing a clip-stick or boulder pad along as the first bolts are typically 2-3m up. Routes are described in the latest FRCC Lakes Sport and Slate guidebook.
Park at the NT Bowderstone car park and cross the river to avoid a long walk-around over the bridge.
I’ll make a call on Tues morning whether to delay based on the weather forecast. Being slate, wet conditions will be as unforgiving as dodgy footwork!
