Burbage West is a smaller crag compared to Burbage North and South, but it offers some truly classic boulders. When most people think of Burbage West, they’re usually drawn to West Side Story, a much sought-after local tick. Other classics in the sector include Breakfast and The Nose, both excellent 7A problems.
The crag has a lot to offer for all levels, with problems ranging from 3 up to 8A. Most of the climbing is on vertical lines, though there are also a few bulges and slabs to keep things varied.
Facing southeast, it catches the morning sun, but in summer it can be a great option for an evening session once the crag moves into the shade.
