About Hobson Moor Quarry

Hobson Moor Quarry is a disused gritstone quarry situated above Stalybridge, offering clean vertical walls and sharp edge climbing. The rock is quarried gritstone, smooth on the faces with precise vertical cracks and crisp edges. Facing southwest, the quarry gets good afternoon sunshine and dries quickly on the main open faces, though lower corner zones can retain dampness. The climbing is technical and thin, focusing on delicate wall climbing and finger cracks mainly in the HVS to E5 range. Standout classic routes include Fools Gold and High Society. Access is via a ten-minute walk from the local roadside parking areas. The primary factor to consider is the subtle, technical nature of the footwork required on the quarried grit.
