About Auchinstarry Quarry

Auchinstarry Quarry is a popular, highly accessible dolerite quarry located near Kilsyth along the Forth and Clyde Canal. The rock character features smooth, quarried vertical walls, distinct arêtes, and crack lines on hard dolerite that demand technical footwork. Facing south, the quarry captures continuous daylight and dries quickly following rain, serving as a reliable year-round training venue. The climbing covers a broad range of traditional climbs and top-rope options from Moderate to hard E-grades, with Spiderman standing out as a local benchmark. The approach takes under five minutes along flat, surfaced paths from the main Auchinstarry Basin car park. Extensive polish on well-travelled lower-grade routes is the primary climbing characteristic.
