About Valiant Soldier Quarry

Valiant Soldier Quarry is a disused limestone quarry venue hidden near Buckfastleigh on the eastern edge of Dartmoor. The rock character consists of compact, quarried Devonian limestone with vertical walls, technical face crimps, and narrow crack systems. Facing south, the quarry collects heat and benefits from natural shelter, drying at a steady pace once rain clears open faces. The climbing covers traditional routes and select sport options from Severe up to lower E-grades, with Valiant Wall serving as a popular local landmark. The approach involves a short five-to-ten minute walk from local roadside laybys along sheltered tracks. Lingering seepage in deep cracks after wet weather is the main condition to monitor.
