Little Granite Rail was never ever an issue and Granite Rail was an issue for just a couple of months and at the time it was well publicized as to approximately what the duration would be and that it wasn't long term. Hmmm... That's rather different from my recollection. In the late 90s and early 00s (when I started climbing, and before the Big Dig) Little was open, and the main quarry was closed and fenced off, although some people did go in anyway. We got plenty of climbing in Little Granite, so that was fine, and we never ventured through the hole in the fence around the Granite Railway quarry. This may have been during one of the periods in which the quarry was being drained? At any rate, this was the situation for several years, until it was used for Big Dig dirt, at which point it was totally closed for a while (maybe two years?) with no-one I knew being sure what was going to happen. Then, of course, it was all opened again by the mid 2000s. At least that's how I remember it. GO
