Okay... so I am new to the UK... just moved from good ol' Canada. Love to boulder... would like to meet fellow boulderers or vegans or vegetarians. : )

Cheers!

I would like a bottle of La Santa, a bag of fresh figs and to meet the Saturdays, on my terms.


and Hi.

I would like a new iPad, to be invisible for a day and to have been Big Daddy's tag team partner.
(is this how it's going to go now...?)

Hi. 

[erm, sam]

Where about in this piss wet country have you moved to?

[maryveganclimber]

Aberdeen, Scotland... I just started my Masters in Physiotherapy.

Transition Extreme would be a good place to meet other climbers, but it's quite expensive and the bouldering's not amazing!

[maryveganclimber]

Yeah... I've been to Transition Extreme to boulder. Pretty small area. I did enjoy TCA in Glasgow. But I'd like to get outside more... haven't been yet in UK... I've heard that Dumbarton and Porthleven are good places.  I recently bought a book on bouldering in scotland... some pretty rad places. But would like to meet others to boulder with this summer too... more fun... more motivating if you know what i mean. : )

Portlethen's not bad, and there's also Boltsheugh, Cammachmore and Clashfarquhar which have some very good problems, mostly in the higher grades.

[maryveganclimber]

Cool. Are you based in Aberdeen?  Let me know if you have any bouldering trips planned for the summer. I would love to join!  I'm off to for a 3 week road trip in France. I will be in Fontainebleau for a week at least. : )   I am very excited!!

[andy_e]

No, but a few people on here are, and I'm sure they'll be more help.

The man is speaking sense, apart from Boltsheugh which is wank.

Bouldering bouldering... Dumby is great but quite a drive. Best bouldering in Scotland, along with that, is probably: Torridon, Reiff / In The Woods, Ruthven Boulder (and area), Glen Nevis, Glen Clova, new developments at Laggan too. Get Bouldering In Scotland guide which at least shows where the crags are, and a big map of Scotland. Make your favourite weather website your homepage and remember any bouldering that isn't on the east coast you will need a breeze or you will DIE of midges.

Vegetarians....ugh what a concept  . Anyway I know a nice pair in Aberdeen, Brad and Meme, who are from....good ol' Canada  . Just go down to Transition and look for the blonde chick crushing F6c on toprope despite being 6 months pregnant  .

P.S. Can some mod move this to Something For The Weekend.

[andy_e]

Boltsheugh's alright for a session or two. There's also the new cave and Muchalls shore which have some fun problems.
