It's a hard bouldering project at Font' 6c+ too.

I'm relocating to Cocksworld to be a bouldering God

I heard on the original version you couldnt use the small crimps or the heel hook and it was a classic 7c.

I would say something dumb at this point...

But I'm in too much pain after injuring my back; falling on my chalk bag...

Cotswold Guide sounds good.

But does anyone know where I could get something more selective. I'm looking for no more than 3,200 problems on 180 venues. I'm in no hurry. !2th December would do.

How much per problem? What's the going rate these days?

Should have looked a bit further back...

Quote from: Basecubic
It covers in detail, the 2 known venues and 5 "new" locations, with over 70 problems and as many black & white photos. It's printed on recycled paper and is reproduced at a pocket friendly £6.99 + £1.50 post and packing.

Quote from: Ru, Cofe & Jonjon
Paperback (488pp) £25.00
This guide features over 3,300 boulder problems on over 70 crags, both major and minor

10pence per problem versus 0.75pence?

I did, but these bargain-basement problems might not be good value, surely quality comes at a price?

Can anyone tell me the percentage of problems in this book which involve a bat hang?

Also, why haven't the Copley brothers been given a credit for this guide? this has their scent all over it.

Bubba gave me a telling off about the term "spam pile", said it would just encourage more spam.   :spank:

Could rename it the "The processed pork in a can pile"  :P

I'd stay in Lancs if I were you, doesn't look like these problems can be done by lank method.

Hi, can anyone suggest a good quality T-shirt please. Going to The Cotswolds bouldering, for a month and will need to take plenty of clothes. Have only seen vests so far, as my local shop doesn't stock any others. I like the look of the BaseCubic T-shirt, but only seen photographs on the net. Any thoughts?
Thanks.

Has no-one else noticed the sweet looking prow in the background? I'm getting straight down there.
