(Also known as Wappy Spring and Lindley Moor Quarry)
Grid reference SE102188
If you grab the N on the compass in the top left of the map and spin it round to the bottom you get a better view of the crag.
The often ignored Lindley Moor Edge has a small collection of routes and a number of low grade boulder problems strung out along a peaceful hill side with fantastic views over the Calder Valley. It's very easily accessible from the M62 and Huddersfield and once even had it's own dedicated, but possibly inaccurately named, guidebook "T' Nearest Crag T' College'. A more recent mention in the fine YMC Yorkshire Gritstone Volume 2 has resulted in a bit more attention.
Original route/problem names from the Huddersfield Area Bouldering Guide and "T' Nearest Crag T' College' have been retained where possible although we are taking the left to right as you look at the crag approach to ordering the problems.
This is the most definitive guide so far, combining the all the recorded boulder problems and routes.
There are a load of route numbers painted on to the rocks that would appear to refer to older routes, however these are no longer documented and no-one know their origin. If anyone has any information on this we'd appreciate you getting in touch.
ACCESS
Getting to Lindley Moor Edge is easy, near the Wappy Spring pub on the A643 Lindley Moor Road there is a minor road running under a motorway bridge, go down this and carry on to the limited parking on Old Lindley Rood in small lay bys where you can walk directly up to the crag.
A better option might be to take a left after going under the bridge and head up the rough track towards the cricket club, park up just past it and walk across the scrub land to the bench next to the Sloping Top Boulder where you can descend easily to the crag.
An easy to print PDF TOPO guide to all the problems and routes will be available soon.
