Title: New Lakes Bouldering Area
Post by: duncan on November 26, 2018, 06:01:01 pm: (https://www.thebmc.co.uk/media/images/Castle%20Rock%20.jpg)

The loss of several classic trad. routes (https://www.thebmc.co.uk/castle-rock-lake-district-triermain-fallen-down?fbclid=IwAR3VVA0ivNR24hgjVEtJjgQrFSTjxVgn7lCtWVgELvDZ1zJli2ieEHbg7dI) is a small price to pay for some outstanding new blocs. .

Is there any truth in the rumour Neil Gresham has already reserved the King Line for his current 10 year old protege?

Amazing to see that some of the routes on that section have ticks from this year on UKC! :badidea:

I do hope someone names the routes/problems with a certain 'theme' :)
