Churnet Bouldering : Over 600 boulder problems in the lower Churnet valley

Located just south of the Peak District National Park boundary and neighbouring the Alton Towers theme park, the Churnet features some of the best bouldering in the Peak area. This guide features never-before documented venues, such as Farley Woods and Threapwood Woods, as well as classic venues, including Cottage Rocks and Wright's Rock. Over 600 problems are included and grades range from Font 3 to 8a+, with a particularly high concentration of Font 5s and 6s. Meticulously researched over several years by one of the area's most active developers, supported by a team of local climbers, this guide includes problem descriptions accompanied by photo topos and maps. There are also detailed notes on access and conditions – especially important in the Churnet – as well as a host of other essential information.
