No, its not Baslow. I was actualy quite surprised to find you could take photos this good at this crag. I might post another photo as a clue is a while.

I vote for Hell Bag too - sure I've done this problem when I were a rodent in halls up that way!

I can't think of a slab like that at Smell Fag, it looks quite good, maybe I will go back there one day, as regards that lane thing - thats quite a bit further up I reckon - if you mean the one that goes back up from A57 (not the snake then you pedantic buggers) that is.

I think that slab at Bull Slagg is called All Hollows and is round to the east of Nunn's eliminate.

That yeah it must be the A57 then, i think i had me roads mixed up, it was moider.

Bit of a one move wonder I think....but my decrepit memory could well be failing me. I reckon it's the A57 and not the lane, but it just looks like the lane - I guess the A57 used to be not much more than a cart-track back in them days.

Some nice pics on that site - like the posing shot on Flying Buttress Direct.

I like on the bell hagg one how he's climbing in purple flares (cords?) and a skin-tight bri-nylon top. Class.

Also i can't get over that some people do wuthering facing out - crazy:

That looks hideous! Maybe he had extra-fine heel control or something.
