Bowderstone – Hillside Blocks

The ever psyched Kris Hall and a few others have rediscovered and added to the various blocks littering the slope above the Bowderstone.

While these blocks have been flirted with over the years, by the likes of Adam Hocking and co, the less than great landings and proximity of the Bowderstone, and its seemingly innumerable possibilities, meant the blocks have seen little in the way of concerted attention.

Having done a proper cleaning job and improved the landings of the most prominent four blocks, Kris and Dan Turner have added to the lines previously climbed by Adam Hocking, to create a circuit of around 10 problems, all a stones throw from the Bowderstone itself.
