Running Hill Pits - Quarry 8
Quarry 8 can be reached in a few minutes by following the track out the left side of Quarry 2. Follow the right side of the fence as you drop down the hill until you meet an obvious horizontal track contouring the hillside. Cross the fence at the obvious point to follow the track left, Quarry 8 is the second opening on your left. The problems on the main wall are a tad highball, bring a mat and a spotter and you will be fine.
1. Firefly, thin finger jams to an easier finish, 6a.
The next problems are on the wall at the back of the quarry.
6. The Groove, climb the high groove, slightly highball and with a knobbly landing, 7b?
2. Duckdoo, climb the wide crack with help from the thinner ones to the right, 4+.
3. Fist Full of Daggers, jam the thin crack to the flake, continue with the crack until an escape rightwards can be made at the break, 6a+.
4. Deliver Us From Evil, climb the 2 cracks, first the left and then the right to finish,5+.
5. Black Watch, climb the rightwards trending crack past the block, 5.
7. Chalkie, climb the arete on its left side, 5.
8. Tomintool, climb the rib and groove, less innocuous than it looks, 6.
