Visited this place for the first time today and was very impressed.

We did several of the classic ticks and found a very clean slab just past the documented problems near the tramps cave/roof.

Not particularly hard, but anyone know names/grades?

cheers

Think they are recent additions from Tom Allsop (Tallsop on UKB), details on UKC Logbook

[Fj]

cheers.
checked PBinfo, forgot to look there.

think i saw you there fj.

seems a good thread to say that i cleaned green chapel and eyes to the skies and theyre now both in condition. green chapel is stunning, get to it and keep in in nick.

[Johnny Brown]

Hey, good effort, last time I went was really disappointed with the moss on Green Chapel - brilliant problem.

[cofe]

good work. how clean was other stuff?

[leeroy]

good work. how clean was other stuff?

bumlog area is well travelled atm, bit much chalk if anything. hangman clean and great. clandestiny hadnt been done in a while. green chapel and eyes both clean. didnt look at further left stuff but fj and others where climbing there so it must have been ok.

nothing aside from maybe the two tree runner routes were unclimable in current state.

[cofe]

Great stuff. I'm so happy the Bumlog name is sticking.

the name is great, the grade isnt dont take kindly to multi session 7a shutdowns....

[cofe]

Hang on, are you saying the Random Grade Generator needs re-calibrating?!

[leeroy]

nah of course not, the "if in doubt keep it at 7a" rule should never be tampered with...

[cofe]

You can't even use the not-tall-enough excuse on that one.

[Bonjoy]

BOOM!

[cofe]

Wow! No beard, that must be a good few years old.

Did a bit more cleaning here the other day. De-mossed Appliance Friction which is great. Climbed some of the newly recorded stuff on the LH side, some really good additions, especially Short Arete SS which is very like Lean-to at the other end, maybe even better; Left Hand Slab and Little Drummer Boy a great roof crack prob well worth the finding (well hidden above Short Arete).
Also did Hangman without the base block at about 7a+. Eliminate but good fun as you have to actually use the nice holds rather than just walk your hands up them off a massive kneebar.

Quick visit last night.  It's good to see the left hand end getting some more traffic, there's some choice bits down there.  Good work on cleaning the mono slab problems and also those beyond which are in good condition again now.  Will try and clean up the lines on 'little slab'  next time i visit.

[Bonjoy]

Any idea what the prob left of Left Hand Slab is? On the almost vertical left sidewall of the mono slab boulder. Couldn't find it on UKC logbook but it was clean and I presume has been done before. Have called it Slab End for now but it deserves better.

[bolehillbilly]

Was wondering this myself, i'll ask TAllsopp if he knows.  Climbs nicely, though i missed a high right sidepull initially as it's still a bit hidden by the moss.  Quality problem.

[Bonjoy]

Yeah I nearly missed that hold first time. Then did it again deliberately missing it as it made for a good tenuous finish!

[Bonjoy]

See if you can't persue Tom to write his stuff up on peakbouldering.info when you see him. I've put some stuff on but only the things I'd repeated.

[bolehillbilly]

He's being elusive for one so tall of late but will track him down sometime this coming week. 

Cleaned up the 'little slab' lines this morning, so should be climbable again after a final brush when it dries out.

A few of us did a circuit here yesterday afternoon - really nice after a summer with no climbing. Lots of stuff clean, other stuff a bit mucky. Top effort to the guys who cleaned the big slab below Eyes to the Skies - the best Font 6 slab problems in the Peak? Stunning. A bit more traffic would help, as would all the bracken dying. The rock quality is really good.

[bolehillbilly]

Good to see the slab getting a bit of action.  Have added 15-20 new/previously unrecorded problems here along with Tim Banton and Tallsop over the past 6 months.  The slab lines are class.  Some quality shorter walls up and left of Eyes are worth checking out too.  Have put all new stuff to UKC logbook but waiting for Tallsop to moderate it into some sense. Also added to peakbouldering.info. 

[cofe]

Bonjoy sent me some info. You guys cleaned the slab eh? Great effort. A few vids and some nice pics and hopefully more people will go. Some stuff I've done before was pretty dirty, but it doesn't take much to clean up. The arête left of Green Chapel needs a proper clean though. Although it's not home to the Big Numbers, it would be nice if the flake project got done.

Will post a video in a bit if it ever finishes rendering...

I second Cofe's thanks fr cleaning up the slab, was the most enjoyable thing I've climbed in a while - beautiful smearing.
