Churnet Bouldering

Over 600 boulder problems in the lower Churnet valley / south of the Peak
District National Park

Churnet Bouldering is a comprehensive guide to the magical sandstone
bouldering in the Lower Churnet Valley. Located just south of the Peak
District National Park boundary and neighbouring the Alton Towers theme park,
the Churnet features some of the best bouldering in the Peak area. This guide
features never-before documented venues, such as Farley Woods and Threapwood
Woods, as well as classic venues, including Cottage Rocks and Wright’s Rock.
Over 600 problems are included and grades range from Font 3 to 8a+, with a
particularly high concentration of Font 5s and 6s.

Meticulously researched over several years, Churnet Bouldering is written by
Stuart Brooks, one of the area’s most active developers, supported by a team
of local climbers. Problem descriptions are accompanied by photo topos and
maps, and there are detailed notes on access and conditions – especially
important in the Churnet – as well as a host of other important information.
