Hi, Lars & all,
<lars.c.hanson@gmail.com> wrote in message news:1194377913.457726.152340@e9g2000prf.googlegroups.com... > I am from the US looking at going to the UK to climb and I am trying > to find a good place to go any ideas?
The UK has a very wide range of rock-climbing opportunities, some of them specific to where you are in the country. For example, many of us on this Newsgroup consider the Gritstone Edges of the Peak District to offer the finest climbing in the world. Others prefer limestone, sea cliffs, winter climbing...
Where are you in the US, and what kind of climbing do you like / would like to try? If you are coming to the UK anyway, then your choice of venue may be limited by time and distance. If you are coming here specifically to climb, then you'd need to do some homework beforehand, to arrive in the best location for your needs. I'm in Cheshire in north-west England, so the Peak, Lake District and North Wales are all within an hour of two's driving.
As Sean mentioned in reply to your previous post, there is much less traffic here than there used to be. You could try joining the forums at UKClimbing [ [externer Link] ] which see a lot more activity. There will be plenty of advice available (though you may find the mannerisms there a little obscure at first).
Good luck, by all means follow up with supplementary questions here!

Yeah, can you give us a few more clues? :o)

If he was coming specifically to climb, I'd kind of expect him to have something in mind. Maybe I'm wrong about that. Here's a top tip Lars: if you're looking for sunny sport climbing, this is the wrong part of Europe.
