Gillercombe & Sour Milk Ghyll

GUIDE UPDATED: August 2010

Area Summary

Located in the ever-popular Borrowdale valley, the boulders around Sourmilk Ghyll and Gillercombe crag offer some fantastic bouldering, in generally scenic, sunny and user friendly situations.

The climbing is on the finest mountain rhyolite, which varies from a slick slate-like substance on some blocks, to a rough Pavey Ark-like rock on others. The grades are mostly spread between the easy to mid-grades,with a limited number of classics offered at the harder end of the spectrum.
