About Middleton Quarry

Middleton Quarry is a large disused limestone quarry complex near Wirksworth, providing extensive sport climbing on quarried limestone slabs and walls. The rock quality is generally sound on developed sectors, featuring fine crimps, water-worn pockets, and vertical plates. Angled in multiple directions, the quarry offers both sun and shade choices, drying quickly in open, breezy bays after rain. The climbing focuses heavily on sport routes from 5 to 7a, serving as a popular local venue for warm-ups and grade progression. Classic routes like Middleton Wall offer friendly bolted climbing. Reach the venue in five minutes along flat access paths from roadside parking areas. Loose scree on quarry floors and upper ledge debris require careful footing.
