I've just got back from 6 weeks big-walling in Kyrgyzstan.
None of these have bony cruxes and feature mostly nice holds:This just seems to read like a list of routes you've done in the last 6mths rather than those without crimps:Mussel Beach, soft 8a - LPT (after the start) - Eh? I crimped the majority of holds on the headwall.The Sting, soft 7c+ - The Diamond - Same, have you forgotten the 3 finger crimp to start the run-out?Stiff Upper Lip, soft 8a - Pigeon's Cave - Agreed, no crimps; it'll just hurt your shoulders (or for me, a knee) instead.Never Get Out of the Boat, 8a - Diamond (after the first few moves) - two crimps with bad footholds. Doesn't seem to fit the bill.Skip of Fools 8a+ - Diamond (after the start) - Very boney startRelease the Hounds 7c - A55 crags - Perfect, not a crimp in sight
I can't believe someone suggested Mussel Beach; i'd be wary of some of these recommendations Ian! Plus a lot of them won't be dry for ages. Things that probably will be dry in the next few months:The Madness Reigns at Dyserth, Last Crusade at Llandulas, both roofs with big holds.
iacoops isn't injured atm, he just has a talent for it.

Thanks guys. Surely there's some stuff north of the border, surely the Anvil has something on it and I hear they bolt rock other than limestone up there?
I would hazard a guess that the only dry sports routes at Malham are on the upper tier. So absolutely none of them fit the criteria
