Ah, why didn't you say. I could start you off with a box of Wye Valley Limestone guides  :)

As long as they don't have V grades in then I'll take them.

FFS it's 2011. Ab down for your gear and make the missus lead some nice safe HVS 5bs.

We'Fonte had someone at the factory put a little sticky square oFonter eFontery instance of them so you should be ok.

And what do you think happens when Paul B's missus can't get up a route, the gear is left in-situ for the next person?  ::)  :slap: :ras:

Stormbringer is hard and could result in a nasty clatter into the slab. Did it last year and after the crux there are still a few moves to gear and was very dirty after that. Probably shows how few people make it past it.  Didnt think much to the gear on croc but you can get loads in. Waterloo is also bold but safe and not too hard

As far as E3's go, another vote for Telli...safe, bouldery, if a over a bit to quick - even I've lead it so it can't be that bad.

Better route that telli is moribund in the same area. Safe but hard climbing and ment to be e4 if you are genetically inferior (short).  Cant remember what you said about the white stuff but adjudicator wall in dovedale is a must do hard e3

Thanks for all the input, I think I should probably leave it at that (before we encroach on BMC definitive territory  ;) [usually marked with pink spray paint])...

I just hope the unseasonly hot (take heed Dobbin!) weather allows me to keep playing on the Grit for a little longer.

Then Mr B goes up and gets it out. Or one of the above abs down. Have I just been trolled?

Well I was replying to someone who seemed to be basing his gritstone route choice on whether his second would be able to get up it or not -a barbaric concept which is soooo last millenium. :ras:

The Lawrencefield cracks behind the pool...

...should be E4, E3 and E5 in that order from left to right in my opinion.
