I'd recommend a visit to woodwell:
Low sitter to Crushinator at Woodwell o'ert is good at around 7B, no small holds.
Turbulence is ok at 7B+/C and can be done with a few methods
Not bad Dave sitter is a gift at 7C if yo can do the desperate 6A+ stand up!
Ned's problem from a sitter is great at trowbarrow too and the buccaneer is a good tallies 7C. If you get the toe hook to work, Vitruvian Man is ok and not too brutal too.
I reckon Bad moon Rising up at Thorn is a great soft 7B+, although it doesn't meet the lime criteria.

I think Pit problem at trowbarrow led to my back problems last autumn - working that right heel pull - and I felt miles off Vitruvian man - so might be giving trowkneebar less attention this summer. Like Woodwell though. Great summer spot. Not been to oert road so should have a look there. Liked rigpa but needed spotters I felt (I'm often a one man band..)

Bad moon looks like a 'needs lots of pads' job - is it alright (fall potential etc,,)

Some of the quarries are good for summer projects on positive holds. Ousel's Nest is a lovely spot in the trees with loads in the 7B range. Wilton 4 has a good one that I think I mentioned to you before - The Rennaissance Men, balancy and easier for the tall. Wilton 3 has The Starship, very limestone-esque.

Hello everyone,
Finally got some free time this week to check out Crag X (either Weds eve or thurs lunchtime - or even both..) - does such a thing as a topo exist for there? Any chance someone could DM me one? Or is it not too bad to figure out whats there?
Thanks,
T

Seb off of here mentioned that he had a topo but it was shit. I'm quite keen to check it out too but it's hard to get anyone to go there!

Without wanting to state the bleedin obvious, you don't need a topo, just google the problem names and watch the videos
Hint "Moffatrocity 7B+"

Had a good wee session at X today - lovely spot. I mean its horrible - never go there. Thanks loads Haydn for showing me around - got stuck into a couple of problems that (a) feel good and (b) have potential.
Excellent!
