John Gaskins reports some new problems at the recently developed Valley of the Kings in Kentmere. Most of these are listed as projects on the Garburn Pass Boulders topo.

Boulder 4. Problem 4 - Traverse the boulder left to right 7a+/V7.
Boulder 8. Problem 2 - Sit start 6c+/V5.
Problem 4 - Sit start 6b+/V4
Boulder 9. John traversed the lip from very low to the left rightwards at around 6a/V2 and also the slab (left to right) on the opposite side at 4/V0.
John commented that many of these as with the other problems in the area, may become easier with cleaning and traffic.
