hey,
 just back from the lakes, looking for sum1 to climb with and any suggestions of places to climb around hereford? any info would be great,  thx jen

[Bubba]

Your nearest climbing is the Wye Valley which has lots of nice esoteric trad but little bouldering.

[jen]

cheers, any1 kno of sum easy bouldering i can check out by myself in wales?

[Jim]

cromlech boulders and the rac boulders are good. Get the north wales bouldering guide.
Also please learn to type properly

Surprised dense hasn't stepped in to be your knight in shining crash pad armour

[Bubba]

Anyone tried the Shropshire sandstone bouldering? Not sure whether to recommend it or not as i've never been.

[Jim]

wouldn't bother

[a dense loner]

eh? whats this got to do with me? for all i know jen could be 16 stone, sporting tats, a tash, beard, and called colin.
also, i think the little climbing that i've done in the wye valley is pretty bad

[Monolith]

I'm aware of your female power spots Lee Might be worth heading down the Wye mate, I hear there's projects for the taking. Kill two birds with one stone eh (god not literally, that'd be horrendous).

[Bubba]

for all i know jen could be 16 stone, sporting tats, a tash, beard, and called colin.

That's your typical Oldham bird though isn't it?

Hereford isn't the ideal place for a boulderer - i should know i was born there ffs.

If you have transport Jen then head north to the Staffordshire gritstone - it's not a big drive.

[jen]

learn to type properly, sorry didnt realise i was being spell checked. no tats, only a beard when i don't shave and my dads the only one  called colin. As for the climbing yeah i have transport so might check out Staffordshire gritstone cheers, been to Cleevehill and Wintours Leap, some of its's not bad.

[Jim]

sum1

thx jen

These are so much more than spelling mistakes.
Also it must be sweet doing all that high-fidelity sound stuff

Shropshire sandstone bouldering is pretty good, as a local area I'd certainly be happier with it than Woodwell etc. Best intro venue would be grinshill - go to the middle buttress first then explore. Nesscliffe is very good though the bouldering is a sideshow really, generally harder than the natural venues, especially on the fingers, and not enough top outs. All the crags I've been to in Shropshire are in lovely places too.

I'm from Worcestershire originally, and our weekends climbing involved the Staffordshire Roaches (good for trad and bouldering), or the Eastern Peak. It's only a couple of hours away.
