Bouldering the start of Tweeter.
Hello.
I climbed three problems at the left side of this cliff yesterday- i think they were all about v3, uk tech 5b/5c ish. Really good fun each of them, and on good solid rock. They’re in the little bay on the left. The first two start from an undercut flake- one follows the high rails and the other eliminates them. The third one is a sit start from a pocket further right, and is more balancey than fingery. Best if you eliminate the lower topout and go for the higher top. Has anyone done these before? I have a photo.
I also did the problems in the lancs bouldering guide but couldn’t work out the descent so used the rope as a handhold.
Really nice to find this secret crag so close to home!
I enjoyed your blog- it has been useful to find out about lesser known bouldering during lockdown.
Hi Mike, Glad you found Crowshaw, nice little spot.
We played around in there a few years ago. The rocks to the left in the bay you mention gave lots of small problems. I recognise from your description a couple of them. There is a good travers r to l in that bay. https://bowlandclimber.com/2016/08/27/its-the-end-of-the-line/
With the lock down I’ve not been up this year, I normally give them a brush. Did you have to clean much?
I’ve a rough topo for there which needs bringing up to date. Would be interested in your pics.
That rope has been there a few years!
There is video somewhere on youtube of Robin on his problems.
The slabs on the right are OK when clean.
