Just to be clear I am not the person who has mentioned the above mentioned unrepetead problem just ten minutes from Sheffield and I am continuing not to mention the above mentioned unrepetead problem just ten minutes from Sheffield due the previous accusations of excessive mentioning of the above mentioned unrepetead problem just ten minutes from Sheffield.

I'd go and look at this slab if I was ever going to be anywhere near it, but I'm probably never going to be anywhere near it, so I won't.

I bet it'd be as good a line, and harder than, Gaskin's Slab.

I think it's about 6c+ or somethign from a French start.  But considering recent topics, it could equally be 7c.

Is cambusbaron turning into Campus-barron, permier bouldering spot? I always thought it looked a  bit of bag. Given that it is 10 mins from my house, I still climb in my garage trek to Dumby....

There's 3 good problems on that block, and that's about all.  Worth one visit at least, although the routes are better value.

I asked on Scottishclimbs.com, no-one knew if it had. Amazing line.
