Stanage North
Skimmington Ride 6b – The remarkably obvious, surprisingly unclimbed direct start to a route called Rimmington Place i.e. it's the steep RHS of the Old Salt arete. Nice steep pinchy layback highball arete. About E2 6a in old money.
New York New York SS 6c – Adds two good moves and makes a good prob even better.
Vagabond Shoes 6c+ - The wall just right of NYNY from sitting (on floor not block). Not as good as it looks and it doesn’t look like Crescent Arete.
Turning Stone Edge – Secret Dyno Buttress
Had several wet days on my hands so decided to clear the Rhodies from the left side of the buttress as I’d spotted various possibilities ages ago. Added six new things, which just about doubles the total number of probs on the whole crag! This bit of the crag faces almost north and as such needs a couple of days, or a strong wind to dry after heavy rain.
Jumpin’ on an Aphid 6a+ – The left arete of the slab on the left side of the buttress.
The Cherub’s Bit 6c+ - Pull on as for JoaA teeter right a bit and climb the centre of the nicely blank slab.
Velveteen Whisper 6b+ - As above but continue the teetering to the right arete and finish via this
Nice Pinch, Shame About the Ledge 7a – Right again, past the easy crack. Tricky pull on with undercuts, slap for break and gain the prowy left arete using a dream pinch. Finish up the arete without using the ledge on the left. Sadly eliminate, but the pinch is so nice I had to find some way to use it (a direct version up the wall would be harder and better)!
Riding the Stang 7a+ - From the break on NPSAtL make moves right and climb the wall above. Great moves if you’re not tall enough to just lank the top wall
Ha Hoo 6b – The arete on the block below the slab. A bit hemmed in by chopped down Rhodies at present!
