Also there is an obvious big boulder right next to the stream near the waterfall a bit further up. It has clearly been climbed before but I can't find any info on it either. The undercut front face looks quite hard and a good line.
Hi Jamie, as far as I know it has not been done. The V11 came from Miles Gibson, from a top rope session. Sorry if it implies it is aleady done.

Is that what you mean?http://peakbouldering.info/areas/4-northern-grit/crags/140-standing-stones#.V5cz4jX-UyE

Went for a look at both of these with Ned a year or so back.Started on the stream boulder, but this ended quite quickly when Ned snapped a hold off unexpectedly in an awkward position, flew off, missed the pads and was very lucky to get away without breaking bones. So ended up sacking that off. Might have climbed an easier line but can't recall the details - it can't have been a classic.Ned then had a play on abseil on the prow. Didn't seem massively enthusiastic but this could have been due to still being a bit shaken up by the near miss. The landing drops away and I think it would work more as a headpoint quite serious route rather than a highball boulder prob and he wasn't keen for that.
