Lake District Bouldering – The Lakesbloc guidebook

Lake District Bouldering is the long-awaited guide to bouldering in the Lake
District National Park. Written by Greg Chapman, one of the pioneers of
bouldering in the Lakes, it features almost 3,000 individually numbered
problems and dozens of variations and linkups at over 70 venues.

Greg created the LakesBloc website in 2003 with the sole aim of providing the
very best online information relating to bouldering in the Lakes and
surrounding areas. Lake District Bouldering builds on LakesBloc and brings
together this huge amount of information in a comprehensive guidebook for the
very first time.

This guide is split into five sections: South-East, South-West, North-East,
North-West and South Lakes Limestone. Featured crags include old-school venues
such as the Langdale Boulders, the Bowderstone, Woodwell and Armathwaite;
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.

Each crag features detailed access and approach information, including GPS
coordinates for parking and crag grid references, together with conditions
information and local knowledge. Alongside superb action photography, there
are over 700 colour photo topos, plus overview and topo maps. A reference
section with Ordnance Survey maps is included for selected mountain crags, and
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.
