From the point of view of someone who's spent way too much time on Churnet 6's; -The little groove (problem 10 in the old guide) right of the undercut and sloper problems at Wright's Rock is never 5+, maybe I'm using a completely duff sequence but it felt around 6b (and miles harder than the 6a just right of it)
-Jill the Traverse is way too hard for 6b unless you can lank past the crux, 6b+ or even 6c in my book
-Problem 2 at Gentleman's Rock (the problem furthest left starting from a low ledge and finishing on jugs) should be 6b rather than 6c
-The central part of the Virgin Wall Traverse is probably too easy for 6b+, especially compared to some of the other traverses of a similar difficulty in the area
-Each of the sit starts at Cottage Rocks (the 6a and the 6b) should go up half a grade also imo.
On High Speed Imp Act, this was only my second '7a' and I wouldnt give it more than 6c+ (if anything it felt more lie 6c - I almost flashed it). Couldnt believe it gets 7a+ (I think?)Is Jill the traverse the one at Gentleman's, or is that a different one? The long traverse at Gentleman's was hard for the grade, cruxy.

You are a crimp hero who can boulder significantly harder than 6A (like 5 or 6 full grades or something), so your opinion on the grade of crimpy problems that are so far below your level will be like Sloper trying to give an opinion on how much better KFC is compared to Burger King; or me trying to differentiate between 4 and 4+.I find doing Tiger first go just as hard as doing The Green Traverse (no heels obviously) first go. In fact, to give it a local comparison, I find it to be the same difficulty as Attitude Inspector.No wonder I don't write guide books.

**h top has never seen 7a, its at least 7b
"Gibbering right" at Gib Tor is hard for 6C+ and a good problem. I rekn it should get 7A.
Tiger is nowhere near 7a. 6b maybe.
Arete@Remergance - This is closer to 6c than 6b. Much harder than Remergance
Early Doors is easier that Gorilla
BenP just said that all we do is downgrade stuff in the Peak as there are no new problems to climb and this is what people do to express themselves. I kinda agree.

mantle?do you mean rock over. people only find this hard because they do nothing with their trailing leg
