Sounds more like the SW needs a bouldering guide to me

Very true!!

Mega thanks for the input all, and offers of help.

If adding new venues, to be honest it will most likely be ones that have come along in recent years that have proven to be major spots, Anston and Bilbins are two mentioned here that seem to fit the bill. And Fair Head, although that's a whole new pain in the backstop.

Anyway, any other amends etc, would love to hear,

Niall

After Dumby and Torridon, surely Glen Lednock must be one of the largest bouldering spots in Sotland?

And Fair Head, although that's a whole new pain in the backstop.

As much as Fair Head is world class (IMO) methinks that it sits better in Dave Flano's select to Ireland. If you're on t'other island you want t'other guide. Plus, Boulder United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland isn't the best name TBH.

My guide, which I'm currently updating, is supposed to be definitive. However the next edition will probably only cover the main areas in Fair Head leaving the rest for Rob's FH guide (which I belive he is also updating at the moment).

Sorry Dave, yes indeed. Would need to double in size to have the Head in its entirety!

Could always stick in a few of NI's finest and call it Boulder UK. Or would that be Grimer endangering his kneecaps...

I know of at least 2 people working on guides that cover the SW in part or full that are ‘in progress’.... Not sure we’ll see either anytime soon.

[SA Chris]

PS, and my problem in Glen Clova is called Peel Session, not John Peel, and it's probably only 6b/+ (I think gave it a V3 / 6b font grade, which I think someone took as English and wrote it up as font 6C).

Shout if you want some more photos.

PS, and my problem in Glen Nevis is called Black Orc, and it's probably 7A (I gave it a V6 / 6b tech grade, which I think someone took as Font and wrote it up as font 6B).

Shout if you want some more info.

[SA Chris]

150 probs in UKC for Nevis, 177 for Lednock, if you want to go by stats.

Difference is Lednock doesn't even get a mention in BB, meanwhile quite a lot of loggier places get covered.

[Fiend]

500 trillion in Nevis if you go by the definitive guide. And the climbing there is actually good 

Actually if we're going by quality per bloc, Strathnairn should be in, if it isn't already.

[SA Chris]

Strathnairn isn't there but it's a very large area with a few boulders dotted about surely? Ruthven is in.

[Fiend]

Ruthven, Farr and Brin aren't that disparate and are all great.

[SA Chris]

True could bundle in with Duntelchaig and Barry Valley (not visited but apparently redefines sharp).

And wtf is Rooftown? https://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crag.php?id=25517#maps

[Alex-the-Alex]

This is turning into the boulder scotland reprint thread 

Does the definitive nevis guide actually have that much more? I was under the impression most of it was in the stone country one, but I've never actually seen the original?

It's passable  . The waterfall bloc is great (Dan Vs arete is wicked) and I keep meaning to visit yours and Tim's arete but the rest 

[SA Chris]

Does everyone know about this btw?

This is the old Strathnairn guide produced ages ago by Mike Gale and the G2 outdoor crew, Some stuff in it also done by Dave Wheeler and Ritchie Betts.
Barry Valley IS Craig Bhuidhe. Some areas have seen little repeats or visits and rest of the bouldering is covered {Badly} in Boulder Scotland and UKC.

Rooftown is a NEW area being developed but i will not release the location as yet because of issues with the landowners and access. 

[SA Chris]

Fair enough. Is it the new Eldorado of Scottish bouldering?

[Steve Crowe]

I thought about adding a few Irish venues maybe. Are there any other venues that really should go in?

Anyway, feedback appreciated,

thankee,

Niall
