Matt Troilett has climbed a few new problems on and around the main edge at Widdop. These areas are usually neglected in favour of the Lakeside boulders, but there are some good problems here that are well worth seeking out.

Above the main crag. Take care with the fragile flakes under the roof and don?t fall off. Gain and share on a good hold on the lip, then make a long reach for the break.

Whitehouses Developments
04.05.2008
Lots of news to catch up on as I've been a bit slack updating the website recently.
Let's start at Brimham. At Hare Heads Dave Cowl climbed Lobo, 8a, which starts up Taggart then reverses 5p 10p. Meanwhile at Bat Buttress Andy Swann climbed Vlad without the block from a standing start at around 7b+.
Andy Swann has also climbed several hard problems at Whitehouses. Hercules, 7c+, climbs the roof left of Fat Punter's Roof to join and finish up Rageh Omaar. Revival, 7b/7b+, is the obvious line between Fat Punter's and Whitefinger, and Lazarus, 7c/7c+, is the link into it from Bush Bully. Andy also repeated Whitefinger and added a low start avoiding the plinth - no change in grade.
More news to come, including Guisecliff and some undocumented lower grade problems at Shipley.
