The Lancashire Wildlife Trust in partnership with Bolton Council has recently started developing management plans for Brownstones Quarry and Ousels Nest Quarry with the hope of designating them as Local Nature Reserves. This means that the sites will be managed for both the improvement of wildlife and users. We are currently conducting community consultation to determine what the sites are used for and what users of the sites value the most. Climbing is obviously one of the main uses at Brownstones and the trust is keen to involve climber’s as much as possible (i.e. guiding management, involvement in friends of groups, engaging more people in involvement with the site, and practical work etc). Anyone interested in having a say can contact Stephen on 01204 663754 or scartwright@lancswt.org.uk. I would greatly appreciate it if you could pass this message around as much as possible! Thank you very much.

Hi!
I'm a guy from the Basque Country and tomorrow I'll go climbing in Brownstones. I'll go there by bike and will be arriving around 10 am. I'm travelling alone and would like to find someone to climb with for one day. Is anyone going and don't mind the company, please send me an e-mail: lasabilkada@gmail.com
Thanks, Ander

Ok. Thank you! I'll give it a go but I think it might be too late to find someone at this hour. Might be lucky and meet someone there. Cheers anyway!

Hi,
What are the best sections at Brownstones for someone new to bouldering/rock climbing. Is it best to start of with a few low traverses or just dive in at the deepend?

It can be climbed either side at much the same grade. The eliminate to the right is also good.

The Peak district is your best area from Manchester, although North Wales isn't too far. Check out http://ukbouldering.com for more in depth info.

Seriously good effort on the site dude. Made my first trip to the place on saturday just using a few printoffs from the site and it exceeded my expectations! Suprised noone was about as conditions were really not that bad! Did a few ace problems but was totally stumped by groundhog trying to go from a very small right hand crimp to the obvious top hold! Seemed a huge move and very hard for V6 but maybe I'm missing something!

You have made a valiant attempt and it looks good. However, this does not escape the fact that if Brownstones had a fight with Pex then Brownstones would get its face kicked off.
:-D
Nice one with the wiki.

Well done Gareth my only comment, is the break used for hands at the start is
out of bounds. I dont mean to be picky cos you have done an excellent job,
(typical brownstones eliminate comment "cant use that"

No no, not picky. I did this as I was mislead into thinking it was Corn Mantel. I'l re-do it properly whenever it stops raining.
These comments are the point of having a wiki.

Hmm not sure about this, as far as I am aware (and this shouldn't be taken as gospel) corn mantel involves a lay back to the left of where you're starting here to gain the obvious mantel shelf to the right of unjust then follow the direct crack above, the climb you're doing I was messing on tonight is poss a more direct start on hopper avoiding the left hand arete holds, I'll find out for sure and get back. Good work though.

No reason why not I suspose, the line in the brick is drawn all the way up crack, personally I think you're right and as long as the line is taken it shouldn't matter by what means you get up it.

I only used a back-up rope on Inferno as I didn't trust the top blocks and they felt a bit wobbly. It was actually OK. I've topped out on all the problems in the videos, but I wouldn't usually top out on some of them. Some top outs are not justifiable/ unsafe. A personal decision at the end of the day.

"possibly unrepeated/able since undercut broke 2005" Paul Robins tells me he had a play on this again and struggled on the start. Likely to be a bit harder now.
