Quote from: Ged on May 21, 2022, 05:49:12 pmI'm still amazed the stuff alexis hs done at hopes nose upper crag hasn't had more attention. Its so good. Upwards of 10 grade 7's, techy, high and very very good.There has been so much new stuff going down everywhere it is hard to keep pace and with the lack of someone like Hendo rounding things up a lot of it is slipping under the radar. I just started cobbling together a list of new stuff done on Exmoor Coast in the last couple of years... thought it would be a quick job. That's just the tip of the iceberg though.. There's new stuff on the Culm lots of new stuff particularly around Milook/ Hartland. New stuff in Tintagel away from the main area . Bodmin Moor - new stuff around the Trewortha, Hawks, Kilmar area and out in the wild wild far West, is that Cornwall bouldering guide ever going to see the light of day??

Hope you're all good. Sorry only just seen this, I only ever lurk on here. Guide is coming along. I'd say 85% done, but not in a useful way, since every crag is 85% done. So there's lots of fiddly stuff to do basically and then there's paying for the damned thing to be printed etc., which will no doubt be a whole other story. I think we've pretty much kept up with any significant developments on Bodmin Moor, South Coast and Penwith, but perhaps not the culm so much (remember, Hartland is not in!) - it's hard to find time to get up there between working, also Mr B. has his hands full these days. Honestly though, general shout for anyone reading this thread, if you have done/know of anything good that's been done anywhere in Cornwall, then please get in touch and I can put stuff in. Oh, and Kingholmsey, thanks for the shout

Rumour has it that up to dates guides are incoming for Exmoor trad
Quote from: BrutusTheBear on September 07, 2022, 07:28:18 pmRumour has it that up to dates guides are incoming for Exmoor trad That sounds exciting - there’s a lot of rock on that coast and some excellent, infrequently travelled, trad.
Didn't you repeat some stuff near Lee Abbey with Stu B?
I repeated Crocker’s route Terry (named in honour of Terry Cheek) and on my recommendation Stu has since climbed it too.This four pitch E5 is one of the best sea cliff routes I have ever done and I would highly recommend it. The rock and gear is a bit spicy in places, but the hardest climbing is all well protected and on good rock. Overall it’s quite soft for E5 too - I don’t get up hard E5s!
Ideally would have easy stuff and things in the 6`s and low 7`s. Lynmouth looks like could be a good option?
Lynmouth is great, some really good problems there. The Joker And the Theif 7A is probably the best problem there. Twister is a good 6A crack thing on the same section.Hartland is well worth the drive while there, beautiful place.
Carnage is indeed amazing (made of shale though Yetix )
+1 for Carnage. Probably one of the best 7Bs I've done with similair quality to Paul o Grady I North Wales (clearly I like slopers on volcanics!)
On a different note, did I imagine that there is a Cornwall bouldering guide in production? If there is, any idea when it's out?
