Shipley Glen

Filed under: Climbing

Its been awhile since I have last posted. After having several comments of my absence I thought I might update. Autumn and I visted Shipley Glen which is a unique bouldering crag. Here you will find a variety of bouldering for all levels including several good classic problem. It has everything from sit-down starts in caves, to long sloping traverses. Shipley Glen is a popular spot with boulderers and the rock yields a high concentration of problems per foot than anywhere else in Yorkshire. Enjoy the photos!

Directions:

Shipley Glen is a few miles north of Bradford. To reach it head for Baildon, turning off the A6068 towards Baildon Green. From the roundabout in the centre of the Green turn left up ’The Grove’ (sign posted for Shipley Glen). Follow this road for 2km until you reach a T-junction with a pub in front. Turn right and park along the road. The rock are towards the tree-line below.
