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. While Bowden & Kyloe-In are well known for their high quality boulder problems, they are both suffering from over-use & Bowden in particular is looking tired & worn out. This new guide, illustrated throughout with glossy & breathtaking photographs, aims to draw people away from these established & increasingly worn traditional bouldering areas to discover the many hidden gems that Northumberland has to offer. The area around Edlingham, in particular, has seen a good deal of development since the last edition of the guide, containing a range of problems challenging for all grades, & the guide has a substantial section on these. This climbing guide also pays particular attention to the increasing popularity of highballs, given that much of the sandstone in Northumberland could be described as bouldering, albeit of the high ball variety. With a view to this, the guide details highballs in both Ravensheugh & Queen
