there are few bits and bobs in the jingo guide, although this does tend to be the eliminte stuff, and some of which is quite inacurate !!

however the new cc guide will be featuring all the stuff at high rocks , due out at some point next year

Was thinking of coming down that way in the next few weeks.  Is there any other way of getting hold of some topos/problem info?

Cheers

if you let me know what grades/style of problem you are looking to climb , i can suggest some stuff to you as well as all the classics, most of the stuff is pretty straight forward to find

i will have a think and get back to you with a list of the better problems to try.

you should def go to high rocks (but be prepared to pay your £5) , avoid harrisons at all cost, resort only to bowles if the wether is / or has been bad , eridge although good is probably better left until you have done all the other stuff.

do you have or will you be coming with anyone with a guide book ?

also there is a possibility that in two months time the rock is not going to be in the best of condition !

a pic of the problem although it does not really do it justice, - the pic makes it look far more slabby than it actually is

It will probably be mid October.

We won't have a guide.  Do we need one?  The only details I've seen are on this old site,

http://www.climb-guide.com/boulder-guide/se.html

and this,

High Rocks sounds good.

Cheers!

you are better off ignoring that climb guide link, it does not really give a very realistic picture of the bouldering in the area

you will probably get away without a guide
