Swimming in the quarry is prohibited

Vernons Quarry

This is one of the many Lanesville Quarry's tucked in behind the Plum Cove School. It has easier climbing on a low angle slab with thin cracks and face holds here and there. Currently there are three bolted anchors at the top. There is another slab further left that also has potential.

Getting There

The best access is to probably park at the Plum Cove ballfield, then follow the path leaving from the back of left field. Once you reach the fire road, take a right, and continue until you come to an opening to the quarry on the left. There's a small trail to the right that heads up and then left that takes you to the backside of the quarry where the climbing is.
