Bouldering, Burbage South - The beginning

Finally a little sun! Yesterday I went climbing in Burbage (specifically Burbage south boulders) in the Peak District near Sheffield. I’m really glad I’ve got these boulders within 15 minutes of my home.

Although in a climbing wall / gym I’m happy on 6a/6b the techniques on grit boulders are a different world: lots of smearing on slabs rather than big handholds. So - we worked our way through a few problems at 4 and 4+.

Bring on more sunshine! (more photos below)

    There’s a really good 6A just around the corner of that big stone block. I can’t remember what its called though! I’ll have a look in my book and get back to you.
    It was the first one that i topped out on outside. Totally different from training inside eh?
