About

Sheffield's Cemetery Road boulder

This artificial boulder stands on the green at the end of Montague Street, off Cemetery Road in Sharrow, beside the General Cemetery. It was built in 2006 and designed by Al Williams, who also designed other boulders in the city. The Sheffield Boulders wiki calls it a strong contender for the best of them: it is generally steeper than most, with smaller holds, and keeps plenty of pockets and pinches.

The city's Outdoor City guide starts its Tour de Blocs bike-and-boulder route here. It suggests warming up on the gentler side facing the cemetery park, then moving to the main face, where the holds let you invent all sorts of problems, and finally the steep, burly prow.

Before you go

  • Cost: free, with no booking or staff
  • Bring: shoes, chalk and ideally a pad and a spotter
  • Check first: the ground is tarmac and the rock can collect graffiti or litter, so look over the landing and holds before climbing
  • Safety: climbing is at your own risk
