  Leicestershire Bouldering
Nunckley Quarry
Hard and banned

Climbing at Nunckley Quarry is banned. ​Mountsorrel and Rothley Community Heritage Centre has been built in the quarry since it was developed. Another sad story in the history of Leicestershire climbing.

Mike Adams' topo can be downloaded below. More info can be found at the archived version of LeicestershireClimbs.co.uk

The foot of this buttress is blocked by an overhanging wall which, although only 3m high and 8m long looks very hard indeed.  It is unclimbed. ​
