About Stony Bank Quarry

Stony Bank Quarry is a small disused limestone quarry situated near Arncliffe in Littondale. The rock presents smooth quarried limestone vertical faces with sharp crimps and technical seams. Facing south, the quarry absorbs good sunlight and dries moderately fast on open upper faces, though lower ledges retain dampness after rain. The venue offers a small collection of sport and trad climbs, mainly ranging from 5+ to 6c and Severe to E1. Classic climbs like Stony Bank Wall provide fine technical practice. Access takes ten minutes along valley footpaths from laybys near Arncliffe. Loose debris on uncleaned upper ledges requires helmet precautions.
