Hi all,

Waterworks Quarry Cliff is currently closed following work undertaken by HCC in removing loose rock at the top of the cliff. Long-term, this is a good thing for the crag and safety of users.

There are a number of damaged anchors / bolts that will be replaced by the CCT over the following weeks. The area is still stabilising and there is extensive rubble / loose rock at the anchors on the various ledges at the top of the cliff. The situation currently is quite dangerous. This will continue to be the case until the area stabilises over the following weeks / months.  The cliff will re-open in early November once bolt replacement and some further minor cleaning works have been completed by the CCT.

In the mean-time - it is suggested that you do not climb here.  Once the cliff has re-opened, be particularly mindful of loose rock, especially during / after heavy rainfall and windy days.

Cheers,
Chris
