I'll be at High Rocks on sunday if you want some decent problems pointing out, wouldn't say I have a vast knowledge of the place but I know where pretty much everything is...(if not how to do everything).  Unfortunately they charge for climbing there, but there's no other choice for me as I have a long term project to sort out. High Rocks does have more classics than anywhere else though I think, partly just coz there's more of it! Let me know if you're heading down there anyway.

Weather dependant, I should be there. Is there an online topo? How much is it in?

Closest there is to an online topo is the facebook page 'Southern Sandstone - The Hard Routes, printing off all the pictures and then looking for the routes when you got there would be a bit of a mission though. A bit of the CC guide is on the web here:

http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=3&ved=0CB8QFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.climbers-club.co.uk%2Fdownloads%2Fsandstone.pdf&ei=BkcuTKKdPMruOeySpPIB&usg=AFQjCNGy7hBpaTjMgBTFMPj6S6ytvKHyGQ

but that only gets you about halfway along the crag, and more of the bouldering is at the other end.

It does cost £10 a go This is mental, I know. I think season ticket holders can sign people in for a fiver, so as long as mine hasn't expired I can sign you in if you like. It's still cheaper and better than climbing indoors though! If you're going to be climbing there a lot it's worth getting a season ticket, they're £40 atm I think, (again, mental).

Here's the facebook page:
