28 is Higgar
29 looks like a big corner with lines out from and across it, I'm tempted to say Cratcliffe's Fern Gully but with very little confidence,
Higgar is correct. Cratcliffe is close. Uber classic line is on the left.

the only other classic traverses I can think of are Windy Buttress & Chee Tor which I'm confident aren't right, so that leaves Sentinel Buttress at Chatsworth.

Q29


This one is doing my head in. It should be so easy! I too was tempted to say Cratcliffe but the traverse lines don't look right. I think I've already guessed Black Rocks (I've not been there properly but it could be the Stonnis Crack area or the Promontory)? Something with traverses like that should be so obvious!
There must be some reason that the central corner line doesn't carry on straight up?!

The clue's where it says Peak Climbing at the top, I refer you to Jasper's recent observation:


My first instinct when talking about any subject whatsoever is Almscliff...

Don't get too hung up on that, I only traced the graphic lines, remember sometimes lines don't continue when the  crack is very obvious.

just spotted this, well done Nai, Chatsworth/sentinel it is!

Higgar is correct. Cratcliffe is close. Uber classic line is on the left.

Spot on. Is that from memory or did you look it up?
