About Harpur Hill Quarry

Open south-facing quarry above Buxton — notoriously quick to dry due to porous rock and good sun exposure. Often climbable hours after rain. Sport up to F8b. Check current access arrangements before visiting. Historically known for its bright blue lagoon, the quarry offers hundreds of sport routes from 4 to 7c, making it a major regional hub for beginner and intermediate sport leaders. Popular classics like Navy Seal (6c) and Blue Lagoon (6b) draw frequent ascents. Loose rock on unmaintained upper walls requires constant awareness.

Region: Peak District
Rock type: Limestone
Aspect: south-facing
Altitude: 370m
Exposure: medium
Seepage: very-low
