I've got a pdf of the quarry boulder topo from that site. Can send it to you if you want?

That would be very handy thanks, I only have a dog-eared paper copy as I've lost the pdf file.

Cheers

Hope you enjoy the problems there.

Spent a few days here a few years ago now.

Best of the lines here for me are.

Dogma - 7b+climbing  but V9. the stunning a overhanging arete just off the top of the quarry as you approach.  The fall is scarry but with pads is safe (I should know I took it a few times. Anyway great line from Mike Adams (who else)

Also the problems on the boulder right at the bottom of the hill from dogma. Outstanding crimpy wall at V8 from myself but many others.

I also did many other problems that did not get put in the topo but if you find them please do them again as new problems and see if you can get them recorded.

Great little venue in a beutifull  spot

To be fair though Tony, the boulders below the edge are a swine to get to through the man eating summer/autumn undergrowth, or often out of condition in winter (hence an incentive to visit now!). You might need to see a doctor though for the vague association I might be considering V8's.

Some of the top stuff and quarry has been recently cleaned and is worth a look. Contact the usual misfits on the  guidebook team if there are particularly excellent problems not on esoteric rock we might have missed.

Its just the esotericrock bit thats no longer live, the topos are still here:
Bradley
Chasecliffe
Birchwood

Could do with sticking them on the Ukbouldering Vimeo thing with the other topos?

For this and any other site you can always try the WayBackWhen Machine although having just checked in this instance the URL above is a no go (even if prefixed with www).  Useful place to bookmark though.

Tried wayback...didn't work at all which seems odd.

Thanks for the links.
