Overview
In a limestone quarry near Matlock, two worlds meet - the sharp clang of ice tools on rock, and the delicate bloom of wild orchids clinging to the same walls. A beautiful outdoor sport climbing, dry tooling and caving venue run by climbers, for climbers - isn't that the dream? When father and son team Nick and Sam Lister discovered that Masson Lees Quarry above Matlock in Derbyshire was up for sale, they decided to make that dream a reality.
