here you go, one of the best sidways shuffles I have ever done, a respectable 7a+/b just for hanging on so long, If you want to watch it make yourself a cup off tea and relax



Recon theres a cheeky power dab on that plant about 3/4 way along...  ;)

Ah, this looks like a good thread to plug my (as far as I know) unrepeated traverse at the Dragon's Den bit of Wharncliffe. Sweet Release 7c - starts up Blunted and then goes left along a thin break with a hard drop down to match the start hold on Jorge and then a wild back hand slap into a gaston in the flake out left, finishing up the lovely Dragon's Den.
I'm pretty sure it's the hardest shuffle I've climbed on grit. Would love to see it get some attention.

Great shuffle recommendation Jon - I've added it to the list. Inspired naming too.  ;)
Is Lowrider not a shuffle the way it was originally toe hook traversed?

There's some good traverses in Silverdale (stop laughing), if you're up this way give me a shout.
Also, Cubby's Traverse at Kyloe-In is a classic.

Lancs esoterica- Denham Traverse 7b+ (and you can try Snatch too), Titanium Traverse at Healey Nab (very very esoteric).  Or you may have better things to do, like chaneg nappies :lol:

When are you ever going to have time in the next 16 years to do any of these traverses?

Greg's traverse at The Breck has a strange appeal. Not that anyone should travel for it. REPEAT: PLEASE DON'T TRAVEL TO WIRRAL TO DO THIS CLIMB.

Pex has loads of great traverses, e.g. Shothole Traverse, Grand Horizontal, Wild Horses. I haven't been but surely the Bluebell traverse at the Breck is worthy of a mention?

We're starting to get a good itinerary now for a summer traverse of the UKs traverses.
Keep them coming - any classics from Scotland, western grit and the Lakes?

Shatner's Bassoon Extension climbs out of the left side of the cave at the start of Hamper's Hang, then traverses the thin break left to finish up the bulging wall that forms the right side of the gully next to Rawhide. pretty good.

Has this been done, linked into a reverse of Hamper's Hang via Shatner's bassoon? That'd be a monster.

Has anyone mentioned the Pea Crab Shuffle at Froggatt. It's brilliant! Hugely long, and some real nothingness heel and toe hooking!

there is the coarse traverse and sams problem on the fish at wimberry, both very good.
The travese at hobson moor is also good if your passing that way.
There is a good traverse at the monuments boulder near trevor rocks in clwyd.
I've never tried access denied at west nab although it looks rather good and hard

Agreed popsicle. The Bluebell wall (as I'm sure tc will testify) is one of the best wall traverses around anywhere. Get back in the car Jasper, there's business to be done yet! Get yourself on the non Haston Haston dyno too.

Alas I am too lazy a boulderer for such feats of greatness.
