A good crag suited to short solos and bouldering. The main quarry is barely climbed now, but the rock is less good. The bouldering however is excellent and a spaced circuit along the edge can be worked out giving a good few hours worth of quality problems. Some, such as Terradaktil (E2-ish) are high and a spotter and mat(s) are required. Stand out problems/solos are Terradaktil, problems around the taller Hidden Wall area and the problems in 'The Place Sheep Go To Die'. Consult the Huddersfield area guide for a more comprehensive list (topo linked on UKC).
BMC Over The Moors has a sprinkle of problems but plenty more to go at with some online browsing.

The recently fenced area around the quarry seems to be associated with the nearby dog training business. Please avoid any conflict here.
Parking and Approach
The regular parking at the brow of the hill is currently closed for construction work (Jan 2023). There is a long layby on the downhill Yorkshire side a couple of mins walk away.
