has a lot of lower grade stuff too. lovely spot, but prepare to get lost looking for specific problems.

Does anyone know anything about the bouldering at Duckworth Pool? I found a very cool overhanging wall, which I'm sure has been climbed and looks about 7A/+.

[andyd]

[SA Chris]

[unclesomebody]

It's the first crag in Dave's new guide - http://issuu.com/djcwestlake/docs/southern_culm_bouldering_pdf

Probably Campus Mentis?

[Steamboat Stello]

Heading to the culm coast next week for a 3 day mid-week rampage! Properly psyched  Any further advice on which are the unmissable problems? 6C-7C.

[wintermute]

I'd vote;

Hartland - carnage, ache ball and clinical edge

Northcott - j-lo

Big Brother - natural born killer

You'll be wanting two pads, a towel, and lots of chalk for most of them.

Add in  Varmint 7a, The Pinch 7a, Soul Structure 6c and Wet Bootie 7b , see Dave's Southern Culm guide for details...

And Trench Eliminate 7a, Corridors of Power 7c and Freddie Freeloader 6c+ at Hartland.

Would be a very decent (quality wise) tick list indeed, come to think of it Campus Mentis is pretty cool too!

My money is on Carnage being the star of the show and IMHO it should be at the top of your hit list.

Definitely agree with this.

I checked out wet bootie a few weeks ago and there was a big block under it making it even more lowball than usual.

We really need Huey to get to work this winter and shift some of these blocks out of the way.  Would be nice to have some decent surf too!

[SA Chris]

You are really not in a position to complain. Last notable surf here was June.

Sorry Chris.   Mustn't grumble!  You do have some epic breaks in your vicinity though.

[SA Chris]

Cheers guys. We went to Hartland on last years trip and did Carnage, clinical edge, trench eliminate etc. Thought Carnage was one of the best problems I've ever done. Will def check out Varmint, the pinch and soul structure. Is it worth a visit to upton purely to do Wet Booty? Any stuff to warm up on there?

[granticus]

Sorry, slow reply.  Might be too late.  There is basically nothing else of note down there, a few bits to bimble about on but nothing significant enough to remember (it's been a while).  It is a good problem but that really is it.  If only Upton roof was still there, that was bloody brilliant!

[highrepute]

Along wit the Steamboat did a SW bouldering tour this week. Contending with adverse weather we managed to take in Northcott, The Barn, a wet Burrator/combe tor, Tintagel and Lynmouth. Excellent stuff!

Wondered if anyone has done the low start to Blue Ray? Didn't manage it but interested to know the grade. this started down and LEFT. cheers

Will attempt to piece a little vid together soon.

[Steamboat Stello]

Cheers for recommending some probs guys. Was a good mini-trip, didn't make it to Upton as the weather crapped out. I thought Red Quinne traverse was great (big block made it a bit awkward but not that bad really), the moves on J-lo damn cool but I didn't really get the appeal of the pinch.

Some South West Love

[EdGowSmith]

Awesome video 
Must get myself to some of these places!

[Beastly Squirrel]

little low qual video of my bouldering around Bristol and South West this summer :-)

[Andy W]

Happy to say I have climbed 'evening song' up on Carn Brea, which I think is the FA. It's the longstanding sit start project to 'evening son'. It adds about 7 moves to the original stand up. I have a video if anyone fancies buying me a pint for the beta, its complex! Gradewise It's somewhere in the 7b/7c bracket. Its been mooted as a possible 7c, but it did feel easier to me once I had the right beta.

[jstrongman]

Nice work Andy, great tick, new hardest problem for Carn Brea 

Cannot wait for me knee to get better and have a go at it
