Gowbarrow Boulders

Simon Young, Lawrence Kerrs and friends have developed a small “new” circuit on the southwest edge of Gowbarrow Fell, on the northern shores of Ullswater.

Situated a few hundred metres up the hill from the popular tourist haunt of Aira Force, the circuit offers around 40 problems, generally between 4 and 6B+.

The guys have written up all the problems on UKClimbing, and featured a few rough topos, and images, along with access and parking information. Click here for more details.

*Update: There is also a topo guide downloadable via the FRCC website.
