About Dartmoor Bouldering
Dartmoor, as well as being an exceptionally beautiful National Park, provides a plentiful supply of excellent granite bouldering.
Over recent years bouldering on The Moor has become a more widely practised pastime, unlike back in the Ye Olde Days when locals treated it merely as an apres -"proper climbing" thing to do. Consequently there are now hundreds of new proplems, a handful of new venues and even a few teams of regulars (not to mention visitors, "vorineers uz do call em").
Those who enjoy a bit of peace and quiet in splendid situations will revel in the delights of The Moor. There is a wide variety of settings from open moorland to woodland and each crag has it's own unique texture to keep you interested.
Dartmoor granite can be a little unforgiving - it's pretty sharp! Some climbers aren't too keen on this but when you get used to it and adopt a more static, controlled style it's really not too bad... another top tip is don't have too many attempts on the same problem!... and remember on many of the Moor's problems a bad foothold in the right place can be better than a good foothold in the wrong place!!
