please contact me!

You, my friend, seem to have fallen foul of the myth that bouldering is an inexpensive sport:

 All you need are a pair of shoes. Some chalk maybe. A mat if you're feeling extravagant.

Not so! You also need a car!  :wink:

If I'm around I'll give you a lift, though it's quite probable that I won't be, so you might be best trying to find alternative transport.

yeah i was actually talkin to the other guys!

Crag Craig David (I hate that fuckin name) is banned

Sorry that was the best we all came up with.  Since Anston Stones doesn't exist, it's the local crag to my parents.  If you lot were all wearing wooly jumpers and wax jackets and had watched an episode of John Craven's Country File, then you and the farmer would've got on famously.  But he probably turned up to see a large group of topless blokes filming each other screaming.  "Climbers you say? Hmmm"

"brownstones may witness a jonny brown and even...a dense loner"

well, you may have to endure one out of two. spoke to johnny about this n all he could do was skirt around the issue, with incessant mumblings. basically from the jist of it it sounded like he was saying he wasn't coming, even for one of his oldest friends. i was so shocked at this i had to go round to cofes n entertain his good lady while a guidebook meeting was going on in the other room. there seemed to be more incessant mumblings from both these locations :wink:
have to say i'm really surprised that johnny can't be arsed :bash:

I'll be there on the night dogg, but unfortunately my employed ass has to work on sunday. damn

 Needs a bit more de-mossing

[Danny]

:shock:  that looks fekin quality, I know you're not going to tell me where it is, but its grit right?

[Bonjoy]

Finest Peak grit it is.

[r-man]

:shock:
Wow. That's a boulder and a half. The top looks inspiringly blank! What are the moves so far?

[Bonjoy]

Have only given it a brief go due to finger injury. So far share little crip, big rock right into gaston. The next move will be the killer, a big throw with LH for a good pocket over the top (visible in shot 1).

looks very much like Guys where ever it is, but you were at froggatt last weekend.

[dave]

looks piss.

http://ukbouldering.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10110/black2web.jpg Black Rocks area?? The style of grit, the ground vegetation, and the outlook all point to that sort of area too =).

Looks cool. Like the camo colour outfit shown to great effectiveness in pic 1.

[cofe]

there's a better line than that as well...

[Bonjoy]

Oh yeah, the 45 degree arete. I've got a shitty photo i'll post up but it doesn't do it justice really.

[Bonjoy]

Eeer it be:

 It's a fair bit bigger than it looks and starts under a roof.

[Bonjoy]

Whilst i'm at it here's a few of the BIG roof at the mighty Craig David, no problems yet cross the roof although I did a 7b that went to a halfway jug shortly before the landowner showed up and shut the game down.

[underground]

Fark!! Is Craig D Magnesian Limestone or t'other stuff????

[andy bowie]

wow that looks rocktastic. Never heard of it - shows how out the loop i am. That's proper steep! Are there many holds?

[r-man]

:shock:  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:
Oh my giddy aunt! That looks absolutely awesome. Is it low enough to boulder all the way to the lip, or does it start getting a bit hairy? (looks about the height of that roof problem bock does on the udini site)

And more to the point, is there any chance that climbing will be allowed in the near future?

[dave]

you know how i've been hinting for years about some secret wave of amazing rock unclimbed? well that is it boys.

Seeing those pics makes me psyched - lets get soem access sorted.

theres deffo lines to go trough the big roof no doubt.

[cofe]

its a shame about the livestock nesting nearby

[dave]

yeah, last thing you want is to be topping out soem desperate only to get a calf fall out of its nest onto your head.

[Bonjoy]

It's magnesium limestone or seems like it to me. Height wise the bit pictured is as big as it gets and topping out in the middle would be somewhat route like. Further right are two more bay/caves of more conventional bouldering scale, and a vertical section with a few highballs, left of the big roof is a low roof with slopers. Some bits are disappointingly short of holds, but I reckon there are enough holds for maybe 30/35 probs, we already did about 10.

Sorry to be a geo-pedant, but it's actually Magnesian Limestone.
