Lizard Brain looks like an absolute banger highball!

Be warned though, the approaches to some of these venues are rather adventurous!  Nabor Point in particular is unlikely to get crowded, there's also some fine trad climbs here.

I'm curious as to how a problem (https://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crags/vicarage_cliff-692/the_nonconformi...) can be a regional classic when it can be climbed at 3-grades easier simply by using only half of the holds available!

Such is the strange nature of bouldering, but then the whole of climbing is quite whacky too. There's a fine VDiff Claire (VD),that goes up the slab just to the left.

At least add all these Top boulders to UKC if'n they're so delectable! They won't be secret crags now there's an article so we needn't keep the logbooks barren. Great pics of the south west! Been lucky enough to sample a few of these by knowing the right people and even snuck up a couple of them.

I'll hassel the boy! The culm problems are already on UKC. The Exmoor stuff there's the website mentioned by Ruby in the article and Tom Bunn and Tom Last should be getting their Cornish bouldering guide out soon...

We're not too far off now lads. 👀

I’m with you on this! I’ve been hoping for a mega board topo for a while now—doesn’t seem to be online anywhere, and I assume it  won’t make it into the Cornwall guide since it’s in Devon.
