Bouldering is for lazy bums...

Nevermind all this trekking nonsense ( http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,5680.msg78358.html#new )

Sometimes all you want to do is go climbing, and Everest base camp/Burbage just 10 min away is a little incovenient. Far better to roll out of bed on a sunny morning, fill a bowl of cereal and pick up the milk on the way to the boulder. That's the life.

Any more contenders for Kings of Convenience?

Go & join Pantontino et al on the Roadside Face Renaissance.  There's at least a trillion more 'lines' to squeeze-in!  And only 1m from the car!



Sorry.  I said 'lines'...  I meant 'classics'.

That far from the car? 

Idwal Cottage crag/slabs are even closer though aren't they?  Pads could be placed on the roof of the car to reduce the height of the drop...  The tarmac is laid right up to the rock.  Obviously there isn't quite the number of quality problems as found at the Cromlech, but not a bad crag all in all.
