got a wedding to go to near penzance in june, may get a couple of hours or maybe half a day bouldering while down there.Seeing as I've never done any climbing down there, what are the essential ticks/crags to visit/best spot to sample a couple of hours of cornwalls best bouldering etc...?Cheers
I only did that route in order to nab some booty in the form of a hex and quickdraw, but managed to drop half my wires into the incoming tide. I lowered my better half into thigh deep water, between waves, to retrieve them though.
I'm also off to Cornwall soon (family hol). We're staying in Port Isaac near Padstow. Will only manage to get bouldering once or twice, which would be the best venues in the local area for me to go to?
Cheers Ben. Who'd be in the know? What/where is Arthurian Way?
I think Granticus should be along shortly to explain, I think he knows more than me (which isn't difficult). Altohugh judging by the waves this morning he might not be!
granticus. Were you one of 3 pads walking towards gwynver on friday morning? I was just getting into the sea rather too close to high tide. If so i followed your chalk this morning.Went to gwynver and carn brea in last week. Both have good rock and both have good problems but both limited. One visiters id say unless local.
As for the Arthurian legend that is the 'Superbloc' area which is near Tintagel somewhere... I got the long awaited invite at the start of the week but couldn't go coz I was on 'wife duty'. So still none the wiser but apparently TOM NEWBERRY is doing a topo and DAVE WESTLAKE has been there. So would one of you just tell the punters where it bluddy is (it's probably slimey, covered in barnacles, limpets and such anyway).
Did anyone top the steep problem in pic one? I found the mantle hideous,
It would appear some proverbial Heinz spillage has taken placehttp://info.rockrun.com/articles/tintagel-north-cornish-coastal-bouldering.html
The area is well covered in Grimer's Boulder Britain guide. Tintagel is a lovely spot provided the tides are in your favour.
