come on then guys lets get the list rolling.
p.s anyone fancy getting out and doing trad

[Duncan campbell]

The only Peak lime E5s I've lead are potentially two of the best (and most obvious);

Supersonic and Tales of Yankee Power at High Tor - both excellent on immaculate rock!

Have seconded (sort of) Behemoth at WCJ - it's hard!

How comes you are suddenly keen for trad!?!?

[Neil F]

Not necessarily the best, but certainly enjoyable:-

Supersonic, Bastille, Castellan, Grapevine, Fantasia, Party in the Park - High Tor

Tales of the Riverbank - Dovedale Church

Behemoth, That'll Do Nicely, Leviathan, Cool Hand Luke - Central Buttress

Honeymoon Blues, Piranha, A Miller's Tale - Rubicon

Ceramic Direct, Golden Mile, Apocalypse - Chee Tor

Spizz Energy, The Flight of Icarus - Two Tier

Big Plum, Sloe Gin - Plum Buttress

Circe, Four Minute Tiler, Menopause - Stoney

NB. Unfortunately some of these may now have been bastardised by bolts on adjacent, crammed in sport routes, but they were definitely trad routes when I did them!

That should keep you going for about a week!

[neilslim]

Wilt and Pagan man, both at ravensdale?

[haydn jones]

Thats a good list will add them to the wish list the stuff at plum butress has been retroed now though

How come you're on a trad mission dude?

[Fiend]

Caller Of The Trad. He's gonna outwit JB this way.

[Hydraulic Man]

Circe, Kink, Kellogg, Kingdom Come at Stoney.

You should get on In Bulk on Central Buttress. It is currently clean but best started up St Paul Direct.

[andy popp]

More at Chee Tor: Midnight Summer Dream, Autobahn and Laughing (E6) are all very good.

[mrjonathanr]

+1 for quite few mentioned but especially In Bulk and Tales.

Do The Alien while you're at CB it's not a path.

[T_B]

High Tor and Chee Tor for Peak lime trad, apart from the odd route in Dovedale.

Stoney for a short hit or if it's raining.

A man of your calibre should have a look at Plectrum Maxilla Direct at Rubicon. E7 and doubt it's had an ascent in 25 years. It looks to be on good rock and properly hard.

[dave]

There's an E6 direct finish to an E2 at Staden that always looked good. I think I saw a video of Gus on it a while back.

Private gripped

[shark]

Not done it but The Great Tribulation should be on the list.

If you want some second ascent ticks then my High Tor routes Harvey Wallbanger and Dementia are decent

[TobyD]

The Golden Mile is amazing. I know Neil's mentioned it, but in my opinion it's one of the better inland trad pitches I've done in this country. High Tor is a great crag, but I think some of the routes are a bit overrated, Tales... for instance. In bulk is good too, even though i fell off it.

Great Tribulation that Jon F put up is amazing. Some of the Ilam Rock things are good too. Steve Mac's E6 link up on the left is well hard!

[haydn jones]

Would the great tribulation be on sightable or does it need a clean?

[Tommy]

These days no one ever does trad on limestone much, so who knows?! It was perfect when I did it about 5yrs ago?? :-)

[Bonjoy]

It felt like solid 7c climbing with good not too fiddly gear. The way I did some of the moves was quite techy and I doubt an onsighter would come up with the same sequence. But I dare say you'd stand a fair chance if you sent up a cleaning monkey first. The easier but still hard upper crack may well be the onsighter's crux - how's your awkward limestone finger crack reading/climbing skills? Film it if you do try, I'd love to have a watch. Get JC to hover his drone up next to you!
If you fancied going for the flash instead, I pretty much describe the crux lower section move by move in this blog post - http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,14536.msg254361.html#msg254361

[haydn jones]

Did in bulk and also the variation En masse descendre. Both really top quality e6's both prime for the OS now

[Hydraulic Man]

Leviathan now clean Haydn so you can do the quadruple......

[mrjonathanr]

what did you think of En Masse Descendre?

Good? Bold? Hard or not?

Thanks

[haydn jones]

Harder moves leaving the bolt but then easier top section. I thought in bulk was 3stars and this was 2stars for peak standards

[mrjonathanr]

Cool, I thought in Bulk was great which is why I was curious about its neighbour. thanks.
