Or if that's too much hassle:




Okay so where and what is it?? It's about V5 for the short, V4 for the tall, definite classic, on good clean crisp rock above a decent grassy landing... I think one regular on here might know (although if loads of you do this will be egg on face for me  :wink:

Looks like Windmoor End to me youth :wink:  can't remember name or grade.

Looks like a nice problem - reminds me of some of the rock in Cheedale, but I doubt it's down there.

Where's that? Lakes?

[Bonjoy]

East of Lakes nr Appleby-in-Westmorland just north of the A66.

Oh bollox! Damn you exploratory boulderer sorts!

Omelette all round it is...

[Bubba]

How extensive is the place? Looks cool.

I'll tell you after someone guesses the name of the problem  



(Which is perhaps a little silly as I'm not even sure if the name is right...)

[Bonjoy]

Looks like Steve Crowes route that got E3 in old money, can't remember the name tho.

No! Bwhahaha I retain some dignity after all.

Close tho....the E3 is E1 in real money or V2/3 in new money (Euros? ewww!).

Okay to put you hordes out of your misery, it is called Dogless Boulder. Errr and that's it =).

Bubba, Windmore is a nice place for low grade wall climbing micro-routes / highballs. It's an old quarried escarpment in Cumbria just north of Brough, easy access, lovely situation, fantastic view over the lakes. It's quite long but the best climbing is in one section at the right end - a 7m high wall of good compact rock with lots of stuff that's given E2/3 in the esoteric old guide but is more like E1/2 to solo or V1/2/3 in new money as the landing is sweet and well paddable. Not sure if there's much really bumpy stuff, I think this might be the hardest, but it's a nice picnic spot too...

Edit: http://www.ukclimbing.com/images/dbpage.html?id=14081 (this shows a typical scene from the best wall, one of the few things worth it's grade sans pads, steady wall climbing with a crux reach for the top, sweet  : )
