Inspired by the limitations of lockdown, an enthusiastic team of locally based climbers have thoroughly documented the swathes of smaller blocks scattered across Clougha Pike and its surrounding slopes and ridges.
Bede West, Bertie Purkiss, Jana Rychnovsky, John Hartley and Timo Makower are the team in question and they have put all their efforts down on paper (figuratively at least) for others to utilise and enjoy. The new topo documents all the existing stuff, currently listed on this website and in the Lancashire Bouldering guide, as well as loads of other blocks and small sectors across the area described.
Whilst there are few truly great boulder problems on this hillside, it’s extremely picturesque, the rock is quality and it dries super fast, thus it’s well worth an explore for any local bouldering enthusiast.
Hats off to these guys, I’d say there’s a ton of work gone into this latest bouldering guide. It is available to download via the link below or the Guides page.
