If anyone has got board of the 785 links on the Birdsong face at Bradley, and needs some active rest, here are some mid-high 6s up some of the the most aesthetic lines at the crag  ;D I was really quite surprised just how good they were, and they all got a good clean and chalking a few weeks ago.



(Not quite as good as The Land Of Giants (despite having a chunky block or two) but also not 9 hours drive for me.)

More Southern Esoteric Bouldering Companion goodness...



No it's not big numbers, yes it is big greatness of problems (maybe not the climber...)

This turned out to be good fun. Sit start to Serenata at Stanage.
Felt about 6B.
I used reach. There is probably a better way.

Looking smooth lagers. I vaguely recall not being able to do the stand start to Serenata as part of the route and having to swing in from the right.

The stand is very funny at 5+, there are definitely easier 6Bs!

The only way I could make the start 5+ was to "French" start it. Bounce up from one foot on the floor.

Yeah that probably works. I think if you're mega tall it's 5+, I'm 5'10 and I had to do a mighty leap

Something to pass a few minutes of a rainy day... The Miterdale forest boulders are less well known then Eskdale Fisherground, but offer aesthetic climbing throughout the grades in a cool setting. This wee selection includes one of the hardest, and best, problems I did this spring.

This was also the day that I met a very cute and friendly mouse, but alas I didn't get any footage of that - you'll have to go find him yourself.

Nice looking spot, the last boulder looks like something you'd find in Squamish.

Thanks Chris. The Lancs team I first visited with were impressed with the vibe and rock aesthetics too.

Now as some light relief from all the political bickering, have a fucking great selection of diverse and excellent Grit 6C+s, because....

As an alternative view point 6c+ is the best grade. Often brilliant climbing and no honey potting as it isn't a "7"...

Showing why i am a boulderer with my short attention span. I watched the final problem and then switched the video off before the final text came on.

If you watched and half-enjoyed the problems that's great  :) The "conclusion" is an added bonus  :ninja:

Thanks guys, I really enjoyed doing this lot. Also thanks to an arch-nemesis who gave me a point for it, and d-piddy whose characterful text in Grit Blocs inspired it.

At some point I read an interview with some French climber who'd done a gazzilion 8as or whatever. He said something to the effect that he'd rather climb the worst 8a in the world than the worlds best 7c+. People climb for all sorts of reasons, apparently.

A dump of some South Snowdonia Bouldering featuring some great Font 6 problems in mostly superb locations:







(Also clears up some of the sketchy information in the guide)

Lovely as always Fiend. Sadly I don't use my current N Wales book enough to justify another, but these do look like beautiful spots. Good to see the fiend look in full effect on Half An Elephant lLH too
