Armathwaite


The interest in bouldering shows a new archaeology of climbing happening right in front of us. It is therefore a fascinating time for climbing in general - the evolution of websites, blogs and forums adds to 'the evidence of things not seen' in our vertical world. Suitable overseeing words from W.H Murray, which we can also take to mean that in the long run our climbing will be seen in its true and proper context.
