Quarry 6

Quarry 6 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) until the first obvious quarry is reached. The routes are described from left to right starting with the low south facing wall.

1. * Intro Wall, HS 4b, climb the first crack in the south facing wall, the hardest move being reserved for the top, 20'.
2. Summary, HVS 5b, climb the wall with the thin crack 6' right of the previous route, 25'.
3. Seconds, VS 4c, climb the next obvious crack to the right, shimmy left and follow the next crack to the top, 25'.
4. Central Tower, E1 5a, climb the chimney and cross the ledge to the right, mantle and move up the groove to the right, 45'.

The next routes start at the left hand side of the wall at the back of the quarry.

5. Parallax, E3 6a, climb the left hand side of the projecting rib/arete, friends can be placed with difficulty in Sticky Fingers whilst on route, 30'.
6. * Sticky Fingers, E1 5b, climb the appealing left hand jamming crack to join and finish up the next route, 30'.
7. Widfa, HVS 5a, climb the crack just right past a less than bombproof chockstone to finish left, 30'.
8. * Sunstroke, HVS 5b, climb the arete right of the groove (a font 5 problem in itself) starting with a gnarly mantle, 20'.
9. * Cosmo Smallpiece, E1 6a, climb the narrow slabby wall just round the arete from Sunstroke, try not to touch the sides at this grade, 20'.
10. Puffin, S, climb the corner 3' right, moving right to finish over the left hand end of an overlap.
11. Delicate Wall, HS 5a, climb the centre of the slab and then move left towards the corner, finish as for Puffin, 35'.
12. White Honky, MVS 5a, climb the slab as for the previous route then move up and directly over the right end of the overlap, scramble up and then finish up thin cracks in the upper tier, 60'.

The next routes start at the back right of the quarry.

13. The Corner, VS 4c, climb the vegetated corner with a harder move to reach the terrace, climb the dirty groove above, just to the right. Delightful. 45'.
14. * The Jolly Green Giant, E1 5c, climb the thin crackline in the wall just right, a good route hereabouts. 30'.
