Here's some stuff me n' the Pole developed eons ago, on a tip-off from Dan Warren. All located on Freda's Buttress in Tideswell Dale (on the way to the Tor, if you are driving from Sheff).

Standout problems are ET Bone Home 7A, and Infinite Suspense, 7C+.

Sorry for the poor quality of this topo, I left the good one in England. Should be good enough if you combine it with the descriptions on peakbouldering.

We did some shit here years ago. Can't say I was that struck on it really, never went back. Good effort for making something of it.

This was one of the things we did:

Surprised you didn't like it - some of the holds are brilliant.

The problem in that photo is now ET Bone home. It was quite easy (5/6?) by the sequence in the photo, but JB's left hand hold broke when we were climbing. It has transformed into a great little sequence with a crux flick from a woeful sloper to the top jug:

The best thing about this place was finding an ancient peg whilst topping out. Proves there are idiots in every generation.

We went for a walk to have a look at these yesterday. The rock and the problems generally look good, but the rock quality and line of Infinite Suspense looks top notch to me, and it has some gorgeous looking holds. I'll certainly be back soon to try it.
