The Gully Tutte Bouldering 36 vie in area

An old bouldering area lost to time that has recently undergone big clean up and re-development. Still has a lot of potential.

The area is surrounded by Poplar trees. White Poplar is a very soft wood that is prone to easily breaking, falling over and growing out of control. Poplar is also an invasive species, so a lot of old dead trees were cleared to make these walls accessible and safe. Don't be surprised to turn up and find a new tree has toppled over somewhere. That being said, most of the currently established walls should now be relatively clear from old trees.

The area is water worn schist, providing some very interesting 3 dimensional climbing. Being schist, the rock is still prone to breaking holds. We have tried to test rock integrity on the currently established lines, but its entirely possible that holds can and will still break, particularly small footholds. Don't let that deter you though, the rock quality is some of the better in the area.

Some grades have slightly changed since first ascents, after holds have broken off, or new holds have been found, so take the grades with a grain of salt until the area gets some more traffic.

As with all established areas, please be clean and tidy, don't leave trash etc etc.
