peak recommendations - 6b-7a+
January 11, 2009, 06:23:59 pm
Have a week coming up in the southern Peak at the end of Feb and busy training and planning my tick list, am after recommendations in the 6b-7a+ range.  Style - Not particularly good on tiny crimps or very thin slabs, otherwise anything really.  Staying near Cratcliffe (and have done a fair bit there and at RHS) but am keen to explore newstones/baldstones as have never really been there when conditions have been good.  Will also have a couple of days up burbage/stanage way..  have only done a few of the 'standard' classics around this grade

The Nose (7A) - Burbage West
Conan the Librarian (6B) - Mother Cap
Green Traverse (7A) - Stanage
NTBTA (6C) - Stanage

If it's wet one day, maybe head to the Churnet;
High Speed Impact (7A+ but it's not) - Gentleman's Rock


There's loads more, but my minds gone blank.

shit at the stride/cratcliffe you need to do:

Crat:
razor roof
traverse lip of rozor roof cave from the RH problem (RZA roof)
brain dead
the sloper/rib problem on the top boulders
cheggers can't be boozers lefthand
optimistic meg

stride:
flake slab
grizzly arete
flipper arete
both cave problems
lone boulder arete
nobody knows

+ loads of other things you'll see on the way round and like the look of.

bouldering-wise, this is about one of the best days out in the peak.
