o.k. so we've all bouldered at Brimham, but Nidderdale has much more to offer if you get off the beaten track.



(about 5meg wmv - 5 minutes long. - thanks to Kim and Bonjoy)




The big G, panorama, whitehouses and several others not mentioned here are all within easy striking distance for a good day out.
You should be able to find climbable rock in all but the worst weather.
Make sure you pay big Frank a visit in his shop at Pateley Bridge http://www.sypeland.com/shop and check out the awesome olde sweetie shop too.

I'm almost certain that some of the problems on the video still need second ascents, and a confirmation of grade and quality.

Let me know what you think - both to the vid and probs if you try them.
If the vid doesn't work, I apologise - I struggle with yahoo! as a host.

Bugger I can't open that at the mo. Will try later

I managed to get the vid on the in-laws p.c. - right click and save as.
If anyone is keen to view it but the link doesn't work, (although it doesn't seem so from the interest so far) then I'll gladly e-mail it if you drop me a p.m.
I've mailed you a copy btw Jibe.
Maybe Nidderdale is destined to remain a backwater afterall.

Nice one sir. It's a corker. I'll put a link on the quality vids thread in the bouldering section, as this section doesn't see that much traffic.

Cheers for the feedback Jon, I see what you mean - people seem more interested in squeezing bathroom scales and ripping phonebooks than seeing some fresh U.K. bouldering venues to motivate!  :roll:  :wink:
