Title: European bouldering guide?
Post by: Ackbar on February 18, 2010, 04:50:43 pm: Just wondering, is there a general bouldering guide to the major bouldering spots in europe? E.g. font, albarracin, mello, magic woods, zillertal, bell hagg etc?

But I guess you can get that info on the web.

You can, but not everyone has web access 24/7 whilst traveling.

Perhaps there is a business opportunity for you here?
