Favourite wall climbs
November 13, 2008, 01:42:01 pm
Looking to revamp a section of my personal ticklist at the moment and rather than run around like a kid in a sweetshop, I'd like to draw upon collective knowledge to gain some suggestions.

I'm after crimpy up problems; vertical or overhanging wall climbs between the range of 7b - 7c. Preferably would like to focus my attention on 3 to 4 problems in each of the regions - N Wales, Lakes and the Peak.

Thanks.

Quite correct, I inadvertently left Yorkshire out!

Ahhh, Andy Brown's wall. The one time I looked at this it was piss wet but thought it looked uber cool and maybe a bit knacky?

South Lakes:
Shallow Grave (7a+) - Trowbarrow
New Rose (7c) - Farleton
Totally Focussed sds (7b) - Warton Pinnacle
Black Light (7b) - Warton Pinnacle
Atomic Garden (8a) - Heysham Head.  Harder than you wanted but sounds good!

North Wales:
Not many really spring to mind in that grade range apart from maybe a few on Pill Box wall.  How about......
Ultimate Warrior (7b+) - Cwn Pennant.  (Video here on Doylo's Youtube ).

Yeah it does look really good!  I been once to check it out but never made it to the boulder and ended up falling 30ft down a broken cliff line only to be 'saved' by being caught and suspended in a web of brambles.  Then it pissed it down.

Your previous description of the attempted walk in made me howl. It does look like a class problem.

Millstone Grip is also very good, but I remember landings being not so great?. Loads of wally stuff at Shipley Glenn actually. Like to go back with a couple of decent pads.
