Eridge Green bouldering guide
Eridge offers some good bouldering in the harder grades and an escape from the crowds. This crag is popular with boulderers but does not see that many people using ropes as the grades are hard, top outs dirty and the set ups more tricky than the other cliffs.
Font grades are used in this guide but if you are unsure about these they are about the same as UK up to 6a.
- Black lines = 6b or above
- Red lines = 6a
- Orange lines = 5c
- Yellow lines = 5b
- Green lines = 5a or below
Bouldering can be dangerous and ropes may be required for some of the problems! I fully endorse the British Mountaineering Council's participation statement.....
"The BMC recognises that climbing and mountaineering are activities with a danger of personal injury or death. Participants in these activities should be aware of and accept these risks and be responsible for their own actions."
