With contributions from the likes of Alex Messenger and John Coefield, the pictures epitomize what bouldering on grit is all about; crisp winter days, blue skies and having a laugh with your mates!

Boom!

I bet Alex is made up.

Because Yorkshire Grit is more important.

For anyone wanting a copy en route to Brimham, Whitehouses or Slipstones I have a pile in the shop.
On the High Street in pateley Bridge.

Outstanding effort boys. Am well pleased

Sypeland: I ain't buying nothin' from you 'til you get your old Avatar back.

OK, that's a lie.  I'll be ordering soon.  Looking forward to it.

Anyone who's got one care to give an opinion on it? All you dared hope for?

[andy popp]

I've got a (borrowed) copy but don't know anything about Yorkshire. Looks nice though.

I think its ok.. features most of the main problems.. but there's a lot missing imho .. obviously they decided to leave eliminates out, but still, some quality lines of all grades that should be in, aren't..  visually I think its ok.. though not a patch on Ru Davis' guide.. biggest plus for me is the use of font grades and some of the stuff that was overgraded in the last guide has been sorted..

[BenF]

I like it.  A few silly typos and one big grade error, but some wonderful photos.  Its great having pretty much all the hard stuff, with font grades, in a guide at last.  Like Ru's guide, its sometimes pretty sparse under 7a and no doubt it'll get stick for that but for the serious boulderer it more than works and focuses upon the stuff that I want to go and try.  The lines are well described and although there isn't much added info beyond what you need to find the crag and then the problems, it has a nice feel to it.  I've been poring over it since I got in Saturday night and found the parcel and I'm even more utterly psyched to go climbing than usual (which is fairly hard to achieve to be honest). 

Other than the one obvious grade error (go search) the grades generally tie in with my thoughts and those of my mates, so that's good after years of the Al C-D guide's randomness.  As someone who isn't local to the crags (although I climb a lot in the Widdop/Earl area) it appears to be pretty comprehensive, but I can imagine locals feeling that there is stuff missing.  Looking forward to the next volume.

Got my copy this weekend.... far too many problems missing and I don't see pictures been the best way of showing where some problems go.
Grades seem OK however. need it to stop raining to really test it

Hot Tooth Village People

Incisive Chris.

[Pantontino]

When it's hot my dog likes to eat fromage, but I reckon it's bad for him so I just feed him on normal dog food with plenty of water.

[BenF]

Nah, not a hope Simon.  Waaaay off the mark there...   

[cofe]

what problem is it on the cover of vol 2?
