UKC

Any recommendations for a good bouldering spot in the peak. Bouldered at plantation a bit but looking for a different spot with a fair bit of bouldering from f6a-7a kinda range. Any ideas and any problems that I should defo have a stab at?
Cheers

In reply to lukesaddler:

Curbar is good, as is Burbage South, Burbage North, Burbage Bridge/West, Higgar Tor, Gardoms, Secret garden (at the top end of your range). Basically, the peak is a bouldering paradise - just go anywhere!

In reply to lukesaddler:
Agreed with above buy Peak Bouldering guide or some such like

In reply to lukesaddler: try Burbage west and north both have low routes or high ball boulders some high the grade plus the class West side story

In reply to lukesaddler: I reckon the best bouldering venue in the Peak at that range is Robin Hoods Stride and Cratcliff. There's lots to go at in a lot of styles. Plenty of soft touches too.

As for classic problems, there's a clutch of good aretes, the best being the stepped arete on its left and Brain Dead (which apparently climbs on its left, not stepping in on the right at about 5+/6a as I've always done...is this true?).

Razor Roof is a classic soft 6c crimpy/slappy problem.

The cave has a reasonable soft 7a sloper traverse type thing.

There's a lovely soft 6c problem up the front of the pointy boulder.

There's a horrible hard 7a slab next to the stepped arete. Prepared to get very frustrated if your boots aren't very stiff.

The Egg has some great problems, the best being the weird arete.

You're going to need a guidebook to find these problems by the way.

In reply to lukesaddler: There's only one decent bloc venue in the Peaks: Raven Tor, Temple of waddage. You might need to up your grade a bit though, I can offer you some training tips if you want.
Basically you want to be aiming at F7c+ and above. First stop: Beastmaker.

Hope this helps,
