Quarry 5

Quarry 5 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. From here follow the track right (as you face downhill) passing one quarry on your right until the track emerges in Quarry 5. The routes are described from left to right starting with the clean slab.

Quarry 5

1. ** Yarn Spinner E4 6c, climb the left side of the slab starting at a short crack, 30'.
2. ** Weavers Wall E2 5b, climb the wall just right of centre to a mantleshelf finish, 30'.
3. * Weavers Crack HS 4b, climb the crack on the right side of the slab, 25'.
4. Nora Batty HVD, climb the wide left hand crack just right again, 20'.
5. The Virgin VD, climb the next wideish crack, just right again, 20'.
6. Cool Fool MVS 4c, climb the leftward trending crack, 20'.
7. Hardy MVS 4c, climb the corner if you must, 20'.

Quarry 5

7. Flake Crack VS 4c, climb the left side of the flake, 30'.
8. Flaky HS 4b, climb the right side of the flake, 30'.

10. Get Rhythm E5 6b, well protected with old pins, almost a sport route. Crux low but the top pin has been tested several times. 40'.
