60s some crags near Barnsley were discover by the climbers as a good spot to go.
The landowner soon put a stop to this by covering the holds with Axel Grease and
as far as I know they still remain unclimbable !
There not bad now, theres a few big pockets that still seem fresh even though its so old. Must have been good stuff!
Gower and SE Wales climbing guide 1991, p.299: "Quakers Yard. Several climbs have been recorded here, but its proximity to the railway line and the presence of an unfriendly householder make it a 'no go area'. The lower part of the cliff has been smeared with axle grease and a 100 lb anvil hangs like a sword of Damocles over a groove line which might have proved the crags main attraction."
