The next grade (F7c)
October 11, 2009, 07:19:31 pm
Can anyone recommend F7b+/F7c routes in the peak which are a good introduction/low in the grade?

Cheers

The Sea Is a Brown Paper Bag is 3* and is exactly 7b+/7c. Upper Two Tier.

Stone the Loach, Lightweight and Toadside would probably be good ones too.
 
Not sure how dry the first two are at the moment...

Thank for your input chaps. Do you reckon Chee Dale will be dry tomorrow after all the rain this morning?

Not sure to be honest, I've not been down for while.  Id did piss down on Tues last week - so much so my house leaked.  It was wet again later in the week, plus this morning. 

I'd guess the Embankment is probably damp - Sturgeon is the last on that wall to dry and Stone the Loach may be well be seeping too. 

Two Tier is generally more resilliant, there's not too much to seep on Brown Paper Bag, but the break at the roof is slow to dry once it starts seeping...  Worth a look if your keen, there'll be somethign to climb...

Toadside should be all good.
