Never Never Land has been a major venue in the quarries for some time, with its eponymous slab offering some quintessential slate frighteners. Whilst the area has kept these bold routes, recent development has added a flourish of new sport routes across the grades. Hawkeye and Fresh Air are gentle introductory routes. If you want something more demanding then it is worth looking at State of the Heart. Never Never Land has many worthwhile routes from 4 to 7a, as well as some bold offerings like Kubla Khan, Short Stories and, of course, Never Never Land. A new area since the last guide is Over There Land which has a couple of good hard sport routes, the best of which is Cavity Wall. Finally, Patellaectomy is classic (if a little bizarre) and some newer sport routes like A Little Pale and Offa's are worth a look. There are even some totally out there dry tooling routes for snow-sick winter climbers to enjoy!
