Northumberland








Today Emma and I headed out to meet up with Ben at Bowden Doors. This sandstone scar provides great climbing of all grades on short routes and boulder problems. A busy sunday we saw SPA assesments, many boulderers, lots of climbing teams and several soloists. We climbed many routes from VD to E2 5c. Its a great crag, quick drying and a bit of a sun trap. All the starred routes are of good quality and the gear is good when you need it.

How was overhanging crack? is the only route I've ever tied on for at Bowden.

Yeah it was. A brute of a route. It seems the trend was bouldering and soloing there.
