As mentioned in the Peak Area Meet thread. The BMC is in the early stages of doing a peak limestone guide and could do with help from knowledgeable locals. Anyone think they can help, generally or with specific crags? Either post here or PM Offwidth.
Would be good to see the peak limestone get a guide of the same quality that the grit crags have had for years now.
-
Is this guide nothing to do with the Rockfax guide then coming out this summer? I don't see why they wanna make another guide when there's already one coming!? :shrug:
Still i would be keen to help out anyway, on any of the peak sport crags.

You are the kind of guide checker guidebooks need. Haven't you ticked the Peak Lime?! ;)
-
No, the Rockfax will be a selective guide, this is the next series of definitive guides. As the last one wasn't brilliant, this will be an opportunity to match the high standard of the latest BMC grit guides.

Cheers :) yeah i'm getting there! Really hope the Chee Dale cornice dries out again this year!!

Word put me dowm for pinches wall. And whatever else.
Seriously, if this guide is even half as good as the grit guides it'll likely knock the rockfax into a cocked hat.

Pullout or at least double-page HD photo of Minus 10, Tom's Roof, The Press wall and Pinches Wall would be great

Not sure what my expertise would be but put me down for checking etc :wave:

:agree:
I'm mad keen to get involved in this sorta stuff. Would've been at the meeting on Tuesday if it wasn't for the incapacitating illness I'm still suffering from.
-
Sure you probably have enough volunteers for Rubicon and the tor already, but put me down to help with either or both - if I can be super specific - Kudos wall
-
Am happy to help with proof reading (or any of that sort of thing as opposed to route checking) as well as obviously joining any threads about routes that make it on to here.
-
I'd be keen to help with this. I've done quite a bit at Cheedale but doubt whether I class as knowledgeable or not.
Would be happy script checking / proof reading etc. or helping in any other way I can.
-
I had told Grimer a while ago that I was keen to help with this, but he's probably forgotten, so I'll say it again here.
I could do Blackwell Dale and most of the obscure bouldering areas, as well as contributing to the obvious venues like the Tor, Rubicon etc.
-
I'm keen, maybe historical or other old info bouldering related.

Thanks for this post!
cheque's incapacitating illness set me wondering ... if anyone got so excited about working on the limestone guide they got a nosebleed and couldnt attend the meeeting this is a good alternative place to start (no virtual bleeds please).
-
Kudos wall
More community service? It's that orange overall you wear that does it.

Would be good to see the peak limestone get a guide climbing of the same quality that the grit crags have had for years now.
:o ;)
Sorry a bit far away and don't have any specialist knowledge to offer. My experience of the standard classics has tended to agree with the grades and stars.

Is this volunteering thing like a Big Society initiative then?
I've hacked through the brambles in Deep Dale to climb Gibson's chipped routes and can write a description or two

Offwidth is an (assertive) outreach worker - the uniform is lycra shorts and roller skates.

*Puts hand up in agreeing manner*
I'm happy to help out, unlike most of this lot, i'm happy to climbing the crappy routes on crags other than Rubicon and the Tor to check they still exist. I'll drop Offwidth a line too.
-
Glad this guide is moving again. Sorry but the Tor section is spoken for - I wrote it with Steve and Zippy about 3 years ago when Grimer first asked for volunteers. May need a bit if updating now though.
-
Can't help with physically checking things this year ahead, but stick me down for anything that can be done via email from abroad. Cheedale and trad lime would be the main things I could contribute towards.
-
I'd be keen to lend a hand with anything that needs checking over etc.

Are ron hills made of lycra?? I don't roller skate often but I can unicyle.
-
I'm spartacus, and so is my wife.
Point me in the right direction, and I'll be off like a goose.

More than happy to help with route checking in the mid grades, trad or sport
