Looks familiar, unless I've got it all wrong. Seem to remember the landing wasn't great, but it looked worth climbing. Not a last great project, just something not yet climbed.

I think it's a really sweet spot.

Other problems there.

Requires transport .. and less rain!

The left hand side of the arête of Flight of Ideas with a direct start? Looks a pretty commiting and independent line

Ah, cheers Mark. Just peeped round the corner while having a rope on flight this arvo. Have you checked out that blunt arête left of exit at Rivelin?

No I hadn't spotted that before. May give it a go if I get a chance. Not been out much recently.

Cool, be keen to hear what you think. Climbing on the back burner? I try and get out once a week whatever the weather.

There's still some good fun stuff to be done in the Peak.

May not qualify for LGP status, but not a scratch:




 :ninja:
That looks like something I climbed a few years ago at the very far right of Gardoms, in woods below Moorside. I climbed the right arete of the jutting block at 6c. The left arete would be similar grade but has a pretty nasty landing. Pretty sure I wrote up in one of my update posts.

It's called No Now Bernard. Also did some other bits nearby also recorded on that thread. Still odd bits left to do though. Bo Line and Sheepshank Redemption are very good and we'll worth a visit.

Thanks for the link Bonjoy.

It's interesting, though. I had a look at these many years ago. There's a lot of lichen, and I've never seen any sign of activity (brushing etc).

The jutting prow on the left side looks good, as does the blunt arete to the left.

Lines on the smaller block further left look good too.

In my view, it's a lovely little venue. Are your lines on a topo anywhere?

A couple of extra photos.





Edit. When I went back this year, I thought it looked a bit less lichenous than I remembered it. Maybe a bit of sympathetic cleaning?

That second pic is the block with Bo Line and Sheepshank on it. I have some vids I'll put on my vimeo when I can find them. That block takes run off and is often wet so regreens pretty quick I think. I think Alain Gordon Seymour may actually have beaten me to the FA of Bo Line but like you I assumed it was unclimbed due to heavy lichen.

Ah well Dave, thought it might be too good to be true. Still, a couple of lines to go at it the weather ever dries up.

Wall right of Terrace Crack at Froggatt. Has a wire lowdown but a hard/bold finish.

Not personally, but it has been tried by a few.
