  Leicestershire Bouldering
Stable Pit
Friendly problems in a friendly place
Also known as Lady Jane Crag

A quartzite quarry in Bradgate Park with plenty of low to mid-grade bouldering and a small number of harder tight-line problems.  The wall is 6 meters tall at its highest but the landings are flat and grassy.

Mike Adams' topo can be downloaded below. The harder tight-line problems are best identified from this instagram post.
​More info can be found in the online version of the old Leicestershire Climbs guidebook.

​Parking: The closest parking is the Hunts Hill Car Park LE6 0AH. 
Approach: ViewRanger Map.

The main crag is sandstone of the Trachose Grit quartzite: patches of iron-stained rounded sand grains can still be made out with the unaided eye.

​This is shown in the little quarry opposite the Ruins and across the brook, which, from a range of stable-buildings pulled down some twenty years ago, is usually called the Stable Quarry. It is a very puzzling place.
