Pex Hill News
2nd June 08
Updated Dateline, Staminade & Pex (plus bit of lady Jane Wall from Harts Arete to Web) Walls, and will try and do rest soon. Included details of protection for leadable routes on Pex Wall where I think it is justified. Pekkie.

About a hundred teenagers celebrating in the Quarry last friday night, lots of bottles chucked about- didn't hang around to see the damage
March 08
The annual clean-up of Pex has begun. Thanks to all involved. The area on top of Lady Jane Wall has now been cleared.
13th April
Today saw an impromptu solo of black magic by Local lad Lawrance Eccles (AKA "The Lank"). After a brief warm up un the pisa wall he decided to see how his fingers felt on the starting holds, having made his way to the crux, he decided to push on to the top! A good effort considering he hadn't cleaned the route.
Good to see not everyone is superstitious on Friday the 13th.

I Have made a start by adding all the route names (so far I have added to Lady jane wall and Pex wall) for the various walls and will add descriptions of the ones i have done/do as i go. I will try to finish this by tomorrow, that way it will stay organised and anyone can just add in the grades & descriptions as they go.
I will also try to get some info into the Location of Pex hill quarry page ASAP!

Breakaway and Catalepsy have been cleaned and their topouts cleared. Thanks to Ewan and Nigel for that. Time to get on the classic Catalepsy.

Dateline wall joins Lady Jane Wall as being fit to climb on. Today saw an ascent of Black Magic and reports say that the wall is clean and fairly dry. Never a better time to Never Mind The Acid.
The Knife, much of which is slow drying, is also in prime condition and should remain so for much of the rest of the season.

Air ambulance called to Pex Hill. Climber had fallen from the top move of Cobweb Crack while soloing. Reports suggest that he is battered but sustained no broken bones.

Gutted! Seriously hope they are ok, I have fallen off it too from about 1 metre lower unscathed on to a really shite pad but still remember the shakes for 10 minutes afterwards quite clearly!
