“The story of Masson Lees Quarry”

Documentary

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.⁠
