...and Limehill and Midnight Cowboy are also awesome and not subject to the bird ban this year.
I've done Midnight, but Limehill's been on the list to go back for. Anyone with any knowledge on Wild West Hero?
How do Carnage and Carnage Left Hand compare in scariness/danger? And are the pitches they share above quite spicy as well?
Can't comment on the danger, but they don't share much climbing. They use the same aid/free move to climb out of the cave then LH goes left and Carnage goes up and slightly right.
when others have said polished, is there any chance of a benchmark of shinyness? Is it worse than say 'Darius' at High Tor?
Bottom of Wombat is as bad as some bits off Windy Ledge at Stoney, similar for large parts of Kirkby Wall and Junkyard Angel (the HVS someone mentioned a few posts back I think). There's a bit of polish on most routes, but not as bad as a lot of things I've done in the Peak. Haven't done Darius for ages, so can't really use that as a benchmark.
