A series of quarries located on open moorland above Moor Road about 500m North West of Burley Woodhead on the south bank of Coldstone Beck. Marked on maps a Barks Crag. Far quieter than Ilkley, the place has a peaceful feel with a beautiful outlook. The main (central) quarry offers some nice impressive lines while … More Burley Woodhead Quarries
A topo has been added to The Satellite Boulder Area on Otley Chevin covering a wall up and right from there. This is the work of Bruce Woodley and friends who sent us the info.
John Hunt has recently added a couple of sitter/extensions to problems on the Cuckoo Block.
A (hopefully) comprehensive guide to the bouldering along the edge from Ilkley to Addingham. The guide covers lots of previously described areas but also some rediscovered and new ones. With something of this scale there’s bound to be some errors so, if you spot any, or you disagree with grades, then please let us know. … More Ilkley – Addingham High Moor
A number of limestone walls and blocks set in a fine positions with magnificent views of The Lakes, Lancs and the Yorkshire Peaks. Lots of very steady problems and a few tougher ones make this a fun area. Nothing of great height (apart from the main wall at Tow Scar) but sufficient to entertain. The … More Kingsdale Bouldering
The Guisecliff page now includes a very comprehensive update from Steve Phelps. Its amazing just how much climbing is to be found above and below the crag.
There has been re-awakened interest in the previously seldom visited but excellent boulders in the Everest/Khumbu Sectors where good rock and strong lines have provided local climbers Dave Sutcliffe and Neil McCallum with some rewarding FAs. These are in addition to the fine solution to some ‘last great problems’ in recent times by Tom Newman … More Crookrise Development
Recently new signs indicating that there is no right of way have appeared. We recently had a request to document this little are that was developed and described by Tony Barley in the Wild Bouldering guide but has not been included in YG1. Fortunately one of the team had one close to completion so: Eavestone … More Eavestone Boulder Field
Spofforth has always been something of an outlier. The rock is a very pebbly grit and it is just outside of the main grit area, in a pastoral setting near to Harrogate. Before the proliferation of bouldering mats some of the problems felt high – indeed many still feel like routes – plus the sandy … More Spofforth (selected problems)
We’ve updated the topo with a couple of good sounding additions (7b-7a) from Marco Giudice and Simon Whelan. It sounds like those roofs saved a rainy day. AgraTopo Jan 2021
