adel crag

After a good session at Wetherby last night I had an hour to kill - time enough for some esoteric rock just outside the Leeds ring road. Adel crag first appeared in the book Where to climb in England by Pyatt in 1960 but has been eclipsed by the rest of Yorkshire ever since. Dave Musgrove says "having lived within a couple of miles of it for some 20 years it never inspired me to put my rock boots on" in the millenium guide so armed with a grid reference I went exploring. Never before has so much polish, chipping and green slime been concentrated on two boulders. I did put my rock boots on but I wasn't inspired! More detail on the nearby disused quarry and underground bunkers in the map section...
