i went there last week. great spot,holy grail v6 is particularly fine. there's lots of horizontal stuff,highballs and even my favorites no balls problems.
a couple of the traverses were described in on t'edge no129 and even  pantino wrote about it in climber.
its described in the yorkshire grit guide[routes rather bouldering]

It's near Widdop.  On the road from Widdop reservoir to Hebden Bridge a couple of miles from Widdop there's a couple of hairpin bends where the road crosses from one side of the valley to the other.  There's a scout hut here, hence the name - the boulders are a short walk up the valley from here.  There are a few traverses & some highballs, but nothing major.  It's south facing & sheltered though, which is handy on cold windy winter days.  It's infested with bracken in the summer.
