About Threshfield Quarry
Threshfield Quarry is a vast disused limestone quarry complex near Grassington in Wharfedale. The quarried limestone walls range from smooth, vertical plates to blocky overhangs and technical slab sectors. Facing multiple aspects inside large quarry bays, climbers can easily choose sun or shade, with open bays drying rapidly in dry weather. The crag has been developed into a major sport venue, housing dozens of fully bolted routes from 5c up to 7c+. Popular classics like Threshfield Wall offer fine technical wall climbing. Reach the site in ten minutes along flat access tracks from Grassington parking areas. Loose rock on uncleaned upper tiers demands helmet use at all times.
