John Coefield Illustrator & Author

Rupert Davies is one of the most respected authorities on bouldering in the Peak District, and Climb Magazine's correspondent for the area. A climber for over 20 years, Rupert is synonymous with bouldering in the Peak District. John Coefield started climbing by bouldering on the gritstone blocks of Burbage South. Almost 15 years later he has an encyclopedic knowledge of Peak District bouldering, and a similarly expansive catalogue of bouldering photography. He is the co-author of Vertebrate's Peak District Climbing guidebook, and a long-time contributor to the British Mountaineering Council's range of guidebooks. Jon Barton is the author of the bestselling Dark Peak and White Peak Mountain Biking guidebooks, and co-author of the first edition of Peak District Bouldering. Jon has been climbing in the Peak District for 30 years and there are very few boulder problems missing from his impressive climbing CV.
