Horseshoe Quarry is one of
the most extensive sport climbing areas in the Peak District with
over 150 routes, and many in the easy to mid grades. See Rockfax for
more information. We'll be camping, details to follow, with a pub
nearby for Saturday night. A great meet for those less
experienced at leading, or who want to start to lead, as bolted routes
are great for building confidence, and of course you don't need a
rack. Also some quality routes in the higher grades. |
