A great wee area with several problems and lots of links/eliminates 6a to 7b. Developed by Mike Gray and friends several years ago but recently re-cleaned. The rock is currently a bit scrittly but will improve with traffic (as with most of Brimham). As a consequence consider the grades as suggestions whilst they settle. 4 … More Atlantis Boulder Brimham
Couple of grade changes and a good wee addition from Will Hunt. Over the years since its redevelopment Rowantree has been found to be a very good venue for those operating in the Font2 to 7a grades. As such it is a good choice for mixed teams. Rowantree New
We’ve added Dan Turner’s new problems in the gully below Pinky to the Beyond the Cafe Kiosk area topo. One of these had been previously recorded but at a grade that seemed a ‘bit’ on the low side. No grades given so it would be good to have some suggestions! They are clearly tough and … More In The Heart Of Darkness (etc).

To kick off 2020 (hopefully it will have stopped raining by then) here’s an updated guide that we think includes all of the bouldering at this truly ace crag. Since the YG1 Guide there has been lots of development and a growing tendency to highball the remaining lines and some of the old routes. Be … More Great Wolfrey 2020
https://unknownstones.com/the-wild-west/embsay-crag/ Just in time for the Christmas break – hopefully the weather will let us play out. There is lots of bouldering across the grade spread including a 7b traverse. The guide is a bit of a monster at 21 pages (the trad routes are also included). This will not be the final version.
That lovely young lad Sam Lawson has put together a fab guide to Ease Gill. You’ll find it in the Wild West section. Not in the best nick now, but come summer the climbers may outnumber the midges!
Dave Sutcliffe and Neil McCallum continue to add good and hard new problems – this time to the steep west wall of the North Boulder. This wall now has a fine suite of tough problems that will suit those that like to crimp like a demon. Great Wolfrey Update … More Great Wolfrey new problems
Spread across the length of Guisecliff and alongside the Nought Bank Boulders (documented in YG1) are a mass of blocks. Some boulders are well known and hold quality problems such as A Little Sparkle 7a, Afromoss 7a+ and the Mop Top problems. These have sometimes been tricky to find but, having been documented by Steven … More Guisecliff Nov 2019
