Edlingham
Area Description
Edlingham lies on the now cleared hillside above the B6341 Alnwick to Rothbury road. The boulders provide a very pleasant day’s bouldering with great views North across the Alnwick moors. In particular, Bob’s cave provides an excellent little circuit of problems which are mainly suited to those climbing fb 6c-7b (V4-8). The quality of the rock is good for this area and is certainly superior to the nearby Caller boulders. The problems are highball and 2 mats would certainly be recommended for the cave and east face topouts.
