Description
On first appearances Denham is a green, grafitti ridden quarry that is a popular haunt for the local underage drinkers and psychotic moto-cross enthusiasts. The more time you spend there the more you will realise that your initial impression were entirely correct, however there is some good (if not desperately attractive) bouldering here if you adopt a selective approach. Most of the problems are in the lower grades but there are one or two nasties that will take most people a while to crack. It is worth pointing out that you will need a mat if you want to do anything of quality (other than traverses) as the problems here are high and the cruxes are usually not getting off the floor.

Approach
From the North, leave the M6 at junction 29. Travel south on the A6 to the roundabout at Clayton Green. Turn left here and follow the road round right to another roundabout. Turn left here (over the M61). After a short distance turn right into Holt Lane. The quarry and parking is obvious on the left after ¼ mile.

The majority of problems are in the sub V3 range, with a few rather hard things at V7-V11
