Looks OK to me. thats about how you end up if you come out from the back. Yer wanna get yer feet out soon tho'

[dobbin]

Ok, so how do you do it? and where is it for that matter?

[Johnny Brown]

Shipley glen.
Perhaps the best example of a yorkshire grit bouldering-only crag. Enough to keep you occupied for years.



I'll let you try it onsight first. Its not too hard to flash .

enjoy :

Dobbin, you better watch out. Once you've bouldered at Woodhouse you'll be a convert to the Yorkshire Gritstone and be seeking out all the venues.

- Boulder 3, Problem 1 is excellent. Not one for a hot day though. You'll understand why once you've tried it.

Damm straight there - just got back and that mutha was hotter than a mo-fo. Like manteling a 45 degree pane of glass - luckely the tree had grown a bit more and broke my fall

[Mike_H]

Its a biatch isn't it, i've tried it on loads of hot days and struggle like a mofo.

It ain't a push over on a cool crisp day, but its certainly easier.

Time to revisit this one as I have finally gotten round to going to West Vale. First impressions - old school face climbing on dirty quarry. Second and third impressions - still dirty face climbing, but highly enjoyable.

Quite high up, somewhat remiscent of Pexhill (in that its a quarry) and not as smelly as first billed on these here pages. Not worth a special trip but if you're on the M62 passing then definatly investigate.

Whilst this thread is active I should note for all trainspotters that Woodhouse has one of the best problems on grit in the guise of Vicker's lip trav. Classic heel-hooking V10 action with a graunchy, awkward finish and memorably described as "more sustained than the Mandala".

It's quite good.
