Lake District Bouldering Guidebook

Description

This Lake District Bouldering Guidebook is the long-awaited guide to bouldering in the Lake District National Park. It features almost 3,000 individually boulder problems and dozens of variations and linkups at over 70 venues in the Lakes.

This guide is split into five sections which are South-East, South-West, North-East, North-West and South Lakes Limestone. Featured crags include classic venues such as the Langdale Boulders, the Bowderstone, Woodwell and Armathwaite, plus recently developed areas such as the Harter Gold Boulders in Dunnerdale and the Stirrup Stones in Wasdale, and nationally significant spots including Carrock Fell, Kentmere and St Bees Head.

All the routes are shown on colour photo topos, plus numerous overview maps and boulder maps. Each crag features detailed access and approach information, including GPS coordinates for parking and crag grid references, together with conditions information and local knowledge. Also included is a reference section with Ordnance Survey maps for selected mountain crags.

Published in May 2019 by Vertebrate Publishing, this Lake District Bouldering Guidebook was written by Greg Chapman, one of the pioneers of bouldering in the Lakes, who created the LakesBloc website. There a detailed appendix includes everything you need to plan a visit: tourist information centres, cafes and pubs, campsites and accommodation, gear shops, climbing walls, and useful websites.
