Overlooking Little Langdale. The quarry is a long 'trench' running roughly N-S comprising of three separate quarries. There were a number of routes climbed here in the 1990’s and some of the routes with limited bolts. Interest was renewed in 2019 with retrobolting of the routes and creation of new routes. Now a true sports crag in a mountain environment.

No access issues, however with the new lease (issued 2023) for High Fell Quarry there is likely to be liquid spillage from the quarry works above Runestone Quarry which could affect routes in the Upper Quarry.
Parking and Approach
Park at Tilberthwaite Quarry and enjoy the nice easy walk up the track and to the quarry. Do not consider using the car park near Cathedral Quarry as this is now blocked off.
