I think it's in the old quarry on the east side of Stanton Moor. On the opposite side of the road to Endcliffe Quarry and Hillcar Wood. Possibly around grid ref 253635. I walked through that quarry a couplle of weeks back and was pretty sure I spotted the line. It's only a couple of minutes from the road.

Try messaging Tommy if you still can't find it.

Andy's description is correct.
Good luck on the route. I belayed Tom on the second ascent (Pete did 1st) and given this was a week before he was due to go to the states to try Century Crack (ie. quite crack fit!), how skin-of-the-teeth his ascent was, and how dismally I failed to second it (in my defense I literally couldn't jam at the time due to DC in both hands (now sorted)), I would say it is a bit of a sandy sandbag at E5!
