About

This website documents some of the climbing venues, popular and esoteric, in Chew Valley. The content is split between bouldering and lead climbing.

Special thanks are due to Paul Evans for the banner image, craig_h (UKC) for sundry photos and Phil at Braithwaites for beta. The content on this site has been developed primarily from first hand visits to the crags but it is also acknowledged that previous guidebooks and websites including Moorland Gritstone, BMC Guidebooks; Kevin Thaw's ktml.freeservers.com; rockfax.com have contributed to a background, accumulated knowledge over the years.

It goes without saying that traditional British grades will be used for leading. Font grades will be used for the bouldering. Where a problem is easier than English 5a a grade of 'easy' will appear in the text.

Lastly, climbing, and yes even bouldering is a risky business. Thus this is a disclaimer, the information on this site is a guide only and should only be used with sound judgement on the ground. We are all responsible for assessing and managing our own risk at the crags and boulders.
