Did this this afternoon. Slightly eliminate but good climbing on nice rock. It felt a bit easier than TT's grade but going crimp, crimp, crimp, rockover, crimp, it could have been made for me.
Now I'm on I'll write up a small circuit located just above the excellent Barrel Buttress bouldering (p. of the new Cheshire guide). None of its brilliant but its all kind of worthwhile and extends the Barrel Buttress offering a bit.
Immediately behind the top of Barrel Buttress is low-slung roof.
'Scraping the Barrel' V1 5b. Sit start in the middle of the roof below a thin seam and climb up via holds around it. Minor but nice climbing and holds.
A few feet left is a small wall capped by bulge.
'Nano Wall,' V2 6a. Sit start on two layaways in the middle of the wall, pull to good holds in the capping roof, reach over and make with the mantelling. Very minor but the top out is good fun.
Up and left an obvious steep prow sticks out the hill.
'High Flying Ignored,' V2 5b. Start on the left side of the pillar and climb very slightly right to do beached whale thing direct over the top bulge. Not very long but a very big drop underneath. This is a quality exciting highball.
Across the gully to the left is a vertical brown wall. 'Gully Wall,' V0- 4b. Pleasant easy climbing
Halfway between Barrel Buttress and Long Wall is tiny (really tiny) prow I had to climb in tribute to Lancashire
'Nestling,' V1 5b. The prow is marked by some obvious large veins. Sit start and up the nose on sloper and veins.
I forgot. On the Helsby Top Tier, a few yards right of the rightmost problem a small silver birch grows out of the base of green looking wall. 'Lime Wall,' V1 5b. Starting just left of the birch tree climb straight up the leaning wall to a fun mantel top out.
