as big ron said in his book, the peak isn't very good for bouldering
I had forgotten just how good Caley is. Addicted to the place at the moment (as soon as it dries.)
Roughly how many problems at Caley?
Reading the back covers of my definite guides comes up with:Stanage: 400Burbage: 750Froggatt: 1100Roaches: 800

So Burbage Valley is the largest grit area- 75 boulders and 750 problems. Though obviously it's not particularly dense, with 30min walk from one end to the other.

I don't think there's 750 boulder problems in the burbage valley.
I'd have thought the Peak Bouldering guide from Cofe et al would be more useful for deriving these numbers.
Keen to hear more about Fairhead. From this page, it sounds pretty good. http://www.fairheadclimbers.com/pages/bouldering/bouldering.htm
