  • Southern Sandstone Bouldering Pdf
    Southern sandstone bouldering pdf Continue If you think you've made a new route or problem and are looking at providing new information about the UKC route, then make sure you check the current guidelines. These guidelines were designed to help climbers understand the parameters of the standard route record and avoid disappointment if their ascent or problem is unfortunately rejected. They are also available here. The standard definition of a new route or problem Is the most vulnerable definition and parameters of the presentation of the new route in the traditional sense is the following:1. The ascent is made on a stretch of rock where no ascent has been made before. A new significant independent start and/or finish of the existing ascent.3. A significant detour. The value is determined by a distance of about 1 meter from an existing route or problem. Representing all of the above types of first ascents will require the following information: Climb Name, Grade, First Ascent DetailsBouldering - Sometimes boulder problems sit starts and alternative finishes are added to them. In this case, these add-ons usually only carry sub-note information in the description of the route of which class and first climb details will be needed only, since these changes are often part of the original problem. Eliminates and VariationsClimbs that eliminate holds to do so by eliminating holds on the climbs on either side of them. These types of ascents are often narrow and restrictive in nature and do not allow much/any deviation. New ups in this style can be presented in their full growth, although they are often seen as smaller ups compared to the original more independent climbs on either side of them.

  • The High Weald Sandstone Project
    The High Weald Sandstone Project Furthering understanding of one of England’s Finest Landscapes Produced by Ruth Childs, High Weald AONB Unit November 2012 The High Weald AONB Joint Advisory Committee provides guidance to local authorities and other bodies on implementing the statutory AONB Management Plan and on how local and government policy objectives can be accommodated without damaging the outstanding character of this nationally important landscape. The High Weald Joint Advisory Committee’s Research Programme Furthering understanding of one of England’s Finest Landscapes The High Weald Joint Advisory Committee’s management aims and priorities for the AONB are fi rmly based on an understanding of the fundamental and defi ning character of the whole area – that is, those components of natural beauty that have made the High Weald a recognizably distinct and homogenous area for at least the last 700 years and that will continue to defi ne it in the future. It develops its understanding through undertaking work itself, through its specialist team, the AONB Unit, or by commissioning independent reports from others. The primary purpose of its research programme is to better understand the components of natural beauty. The key components are: • Geology, landform, water systems and climate: deeply incised, ridged and faulted landform of clays and sandstone. The ridges tend east-west and from them spring numerous gill streams that form the headwaters of rivers. Wide river valleys dominate the eastern part of the AONB. The landform and water systems are subject to and infl uence, a local variant f the British sub-oceanic climate.

    BMC Southern Sandstone Open Meeting - 20th October 2019 Present: Sarah Cullan, Chris Stone, Michael Phelan, Simon Wilson, Ben Read, Richard Barlow Emma Harrington, Daimon Beail, and Bob Moulton (Chair) 1. Welcome and Apologies BM welcomed all to the meeting. Apologies had been received from: Graham Adcock, Adrian Paisey, James Bouchard, Laurence Reading and Steve Jackson 2. HRMG/SVG Overview BM and SC reported on: 2.1 Harrison's • The Woodland Plan. The area to be worked on was below The Vice. After this, only five areas remain to be cleared in the 13-year plan! Date of the felling and the workday to be announced, which was likely to be in early November. Quotes were awaited for a couple of contractors before dates for this can be set. • The Isolated Buttress. Some progress had been made towards putting in the Planning Application to Wealden DC. The current position as reported by the BMC was that: the survey that was needed had been carried out and the results had been sent to the architect. He was now drawing up the designs and would submit to the planning authority for the BMC, who were waiting to hear back from him once that is ready to go. • Anchor Placements. Daimon Beale and Emma Harrington had completed the programme of putting in new bolts, including the bolt above Wailing Wall. They had been using a new type of bolt which should reduce the minor twisting that has been reported on for a number of the existing bolts (which has been noted and will be worked on).
