Climbing - Redmire is a old trad quarry access was band in 2009.

New sport routes have gone up in the past couple of years of various heights and difficultly. Rock isn't the greatest you will climb with some occasional rock fall. Caution is also advised towards the top, its never fun grabbing a loose rock when you reach the anchor and then throwing rocks onto your belayers head.

Access - Put simply None. However you're usually only asked to leave by Tarmac. Avoid people in orange clothing! Go on a evening or Sunday. Occasional clay pigeon shooting. No idea when but there is always fresh ones. 

​

Parking/ Walk in - Don't park in front of the main quarry gates, there is parking 100yards further up the bank, its a less obvious place to park opposite a gate, Then climb over the fence with many many many no access signs and drop down into quarry. See full guide below.
