Gidleigh Woods

Dartmoor

A small bouldering area tucked away in the woods near Gidleigh. There are around 15 problems scattered around the hillside of varying quality with some excellent climbs amongst these. The grades range from V0 to V8+ with a nice selection of styles covered. The better problems are Le Coq V2, Fist full of slopers V2 and the much harder Dark Devotion V8+. There are possibly more quality boulders and problems dotted around the woods a nice venue for a few problems and lots of exploration! Oh and don't forget the JUMP!

Area information

Part of the Dartmoor National Park is used by the MoD for training and live-firing exercises. It also offers a wealth of excellent hillwalking and numerous Tors, some of which still have the potential for new climbing development – especially wild bouldering. The Defence Estates endeavour to support public access (without compromising public safety and military training) and have produced a website with the important safety info and firing times. Follow this link http://www.dartmoor-ranges.co.uk/ for the Dartmoor training area homepage and links to detailed info.
