This completely revised edition of the Northumberland Bouldering Guide takes in all major changes since the publication of the previous edition, a period which has seen the popularity of bouldering continue to grow, new problems of all grades climbed, & a few newer areas developed. This is the 2008, 2nd edition of the definitive bouldering guide to the crags of Northumberland
- from the definitive source, the Northumbrian Mountaineering Club. It features many colour photos; diagrams; maps & topos. It covers 25 crags, including Back Bowden, Bowden Doors, Callerhues, Corby's Crag, Doveholes, Edlingham, Hepburn, Kyloe Crag, Kyloe In, Queens Crag, Raven's Crag, Rothley, Shaftoe, Simonside & Ravensheugh, plus many minor outcrops.

With a view to this, the guide details highballs in both Ravensheugh & Queen
