Why go

Granite bouldering at Saddle Tor. This is a session-planning record, not a topo — named problems below are a tick-list, not a guidebook reprint.

Access

Check BMC RAD before you travel. Nesting, erosion and landowner notes change. Do not take a forum post as permission. If you do not know, do not guess. BMC Regional Access Database for UK venues.

Getting there

Parking: Use established public parking or signed laybys. Do not block gates, driveways or passing places.

Approach: Follow established paths. Do not cut new lines through heather or crops.
