About Smalldale Quarry

Smalldale Quarry is a popular, accessible sport climbing quarry located in a peaceful dale near Buxton. The quarried limestone walls are clean, sheer, and featuring fine crimps, pockets, and smooth vertical plates. Angled in various directions around the quarry floor, climbers can easily locate sunny or shaded sectors, and open exposure leads to quick drying times overall. The venue is renowned as one of the best mid-grade sport destinations in the region, crammed with fully bolted routes from 5c to 7a. Popular classics like Smalldale Wall provide excellent technical warm-ups and training. Reach the quarry in under five minutes along a flat track from roadside parking near Smalldale hamlet. Loose debris on top ledges demands caution when lower-offs are being set up.
