Edlingham History
No routes are recorded, even though it has been mentioned in the "Other Crags" section of the last two editions of the guide. It has been visited by such as Nev Hannaby, John Earl and Bob Hutchinson, none of whom were known for turning down new route opportunities, and still lies routeless. This says a lot about first impressions of the place. The bouldering potential was realised by John Dalrymple and Bob Smith who found and cleaned several fine problems, both before and after the felling. During the hot summer of 2006, visits by Cris Graham and friends have revealed the potential of this venue with some fine problems on Bobs Cave.
